Data Logic

Scope

The scope field defines the criteria that determine the list of issues displayed within the panel.

Subtask of current issue: show all subtasks of the current issue + optionally apply further restrictions via JQL.

Stories of current epic: show all stories of the current epic + optionally apply further restrictions via JQL.

Issues linked to current issue: show all issues linked to the current issue.

Select Links (link type) and link Level. Optionally provide a JQL. The panel will show all issues linked to the current issue that match the defined link type (any link type if nothing is specified), link-level and scope JQL.

JQL: Show all issues in the scope of the JQL provided in the “JQL scope” field below.

Issues linked to issues from JQL: Show all issues linked to defined “starting issues”.

First you have to provide a JQL that selects the issue(s) you want to look at. The logic of this scope option is the same as in “Issues linked to current issue” but this time you can look at issues that are not the current issue but the issues you define under “Starting Issues”.

Select Links (link type) and link Level. Optionally provide a JQL for “Selectable Issues”. The lookup link panel will show all issues linked to the current issue that match the defined link type (any link type if nothing is specified), link level and scope JQL.

Searching User

This configuration allows you to affect the scope of issues displayed in the Issue Panel.

When the "Current User" option is selected, the issues displayed are based on the current user's permissions. On the other hand, selecting a specific user will define the scope of issues according to that particular user's permissions.

Display Style

Define the display style of your Issue Filter Panel. You have the following options:

Panel: Relations (Left) / Relations (Right). Select if you want to display the relation table at your issue's left or right side.

Display Style: Table / List / Table + pop-up

Rows per page: Select the max. Amount of rows per page (the rest will be shown with pagination).

Fields to show: Select the fields displayed in the panel.

Fields to sum up: allows to get a sum of numeric fields.

Issue Progress Bar: Sums up the progress of linked issues in the panel based on status and visualizes it in a progress bar.
