Sub-level: Asset Filters
Asset filters allow the grouping of assets based on a JQL query against custom field values or searchable issue properties and then display such groups in the Sidebar.

Result
A tab with the title ‘In Maintenance’ appeared in the sidebar. The tab is positioned as a sub-level of the ‘Monitor’ issue level.
By clicking on the ‘In Maintenance’ tab, users can view all ‘Monitors’ issues that are currently under maintenance:

Assets List
The list of assets occupies the largest part of the Navigator page. This is the most interactive part of the Navigator, where users search, filter and edit the issues/assets.

Assets Navigator provides an option to quickly search through your selected levels quickly. Users can find a search bar in the top navigation panel. The search bar can be used for text search by text or by JQL queries.
By default, the search bar is set to text search. To switch to JQL, simply click on the ABC button.
