General

There are three ways

to search

available for searching administration items. Each section provides different parameters to search for. They will be described in the following sub pages. The screenshots below will show you in which way it is possible to search with the different filters.   

The items in one filter are

filterd

filtered with an OR-function

. That

which means, every item that was entered will be displayed if available. The link between two filters is an AND-function. This means, if you enter a search item in the first filter and then an item in the second filter only the results that contain both items will be shown

that cover both items.

Quick search for administration items - dd

Since version 2.3.0 - changed to gx, but the old shortcut works for now.

xTools 2.0 introduces a similar functionality with JIRA's global search (gg), and it is meant to simplify the search for administration items. Typing dd on any page in Jira will open a pop-up window, where you can search for the following configuration items, by Name, ID, or Key:

  • Projects
  • Project categories
  • Issue types
  • Issue type schemes
  • Workflows
  • Workflow schemes
  • Screens
  • Screen schemes
  • Issue type screen schemes
  • Custom fields
  • Field configurations
  • Field configuration schemes
  • Statues 
  • Resolutions
  • Priorities
  • Issue linking
  • Notification schemes
  • Permission schemes
  • Events
  • Project roles

Clicking on the filtered item will redirect you to the specific configuration page, with the pre-selected filter that you chose.
