Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Saved searches allow you to store the criteria for searching for issues so that
you can perform the same search later without re-entering it. This can be
particularly useful for complex queries that you intend to use repeatedly, but
any frequently used query benefits from being saved.
After you create a saved search, it appears in the
left-hand navigation under the Saved searches section. Unlike
hotlists, saved searches are not static in their results. This means that
you don't add or remove issues from the saved search results yourself. Instead,
each time you run a saved search, Issue Tracker returns the issues that meet the
search criteria. Results of a saved search can change from moment to moment as
issues change to match or no longer match the search criteria.
IDs and naming
Saved searches, hotlists and bookmark groups are uniquely identified by ID
numbers. You can find ID numbers by clicking the pencil or clipboard icon on the
details page next to the resource name. As an alternative, if a resource is in
the left-hand navigation, you can access its ID number by selecting Settings
in its drop-down menu.
Names for saved searches, hotlists and bookmark groups don't need to be unique.
For example, two different users can create a saved search named "My Saved
Search." One of these saved searches may have the ID number 63690 while the
other has an ID number of 82451. If the same user creates or subscribes to
resources with the same name, each resource appears in the left-hand navigation
and it may be difficult to distinguish one from another. For this reason, you
should make names as unique as possible and avoid using generic names.
Modified saved searches
If you change the criteria of a saved search after you create it and then re-run
it, Issue Tracker presents you with the option to re-save the search with the
new criteria. Click Save to update the saved search with the new criteria or
click Discard changes keep the saved search unchanged and re-run the search
based on the original criteria. You can also click Back to normal search to
keep the search results based on the new criteria. This does not update your
saved search.
If you modify a saved search and then go to the drop-down button in the search
bar, you can save the modified search as a different saved search.
You must have Admin permission on the saved search to modify the search
query.
