Tracker tips
Searching
Quick search
On every tracker page you can find search box. Quick search is much more powerful than you might think.
Examples of the quick searches:
| Quick search | Advanced search equivalent |
|---|---|
| Find all unresolved Bugs in Moodle project that contain words abra cadabra | |
| MDL Unresolved Bug abra cadabra
|
project = MDL AND issuetype = Bug AND resolution = Unresolved AND text ~ "abra cadabra"
|
| Find all ongoing issues assigned to me: | |
| my Unresolved | resolution = Unresolved AND assignee = currentUser() |
Quick search can pick up many other keywords, see more information on page Using quick search
Advanced search
To get here either enter something in quick search or go to the link Tracker search page and switch it to “Advanced” mode. Now you can enter queries in the Jira Query Language (JQL). Use as many AND, OR and parenthesis as you want. Some examples and interesting subqueries:
| JQL | Explanation |
|---|---|
| project = MDL | only issues inside project Moodle |
| resolution != Unresolved | Best way to search for closed issues |
| type in (Improvement, "New Feature") | |
| votes > 50 | |
| component in (Assignment, Gradebook) | where component is either Assignment or Gradebook |
| component = Assignment AND component = Gradebook | where both Assignement and Gradebook are listed as components |
| labels = patch | issues containing particular label |
| labels is empty OR labels not in (triaged, triaging_in_progress) | issues NOT containing particular label(s) |
| updatedDate > -7d | updated in the last week |
| assignee = currentUser() AND resolution != Unresolved | open issues where you are an assignee |
| reporter = currentUser() | issues reported by you |
| assignee in membersOf("hq-developers") | issues assigned to members of hq-developers group |
| status changed to "Waiting for peer review" before startofday(-7) and status = "Waiting for peer review" | issues waiting for peer review for over a week |
| status WAS NOT "Development in progress" BEFORE "2011/02/02" |
