Summary


In this chapter, we discussed how issues can be searched in JIRA using Issue Navigator. We covered Basic search as well as Advanced search using JQL. Creating filters and subscribing to it were also covered. We also discussed how to modify issues in bulk and how to export issues from Issue Navigator.

Once you start using JIRA to track issues, it also becomes important to analyze the data to check the progress of the project. In the next chapter, various built-in reports that come with JIRA will be discussed. These real-time reports help managers to check various project statistics and to make the right decisions. The dashboards and gadgets will also be discussed briefly.
