Find work with search and filters

You will learn how to find an issue, build a focused queue, and turn loose search terms into a repeatable query.

Use this workflow when you need to locate work quickly or shape a list you can reuse.

Before you begin, read Search, saved views and My Work.

  1. Press Cmd+K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux.
  2. Type an issue key, title phrase, project name, comment phrase, or filter.
  3. Use arrow keys to move through results.
  4. Press Enter to open the highlighted result.

Search results can include issues, epics, comments, projects, and cycles.

Try:

TIXI-945
customer import
type:bug priority:high
created_by:me

2. Use filter hints

When the command palette is empty, it shows query hints. If you type a bare filter key and press Tab, Tixio can insert the colon for you.

Useful starting filters:

assigned_to:me
status:in_progress
project:tixi
cycle:current
label:customer-request
estimated:false

3. Use project filters for focused work

Open a project issue surface such as Issues, Table, Board, Calendar, or Timeline.

Use:

  1. Search text for title/body matching.
  2. + Filter to add structured facets.
  3. Display to adjust done/sub-task visibility.
  4. Sort controls where the surface supports sorting.

Project filter chips include facets such as Status, Priority, Type, Assignee, Created By, Labels, Resolution, Cycle, Epic, Milestone, Fix version, Affects version, Due, and Estimate.

4. Build a query deliberately

Combine filters by intent:

project:tixi assigned_to:me hide_done:1
project:web|api status:in_progress label:customer-request
type:bug priority:high|urgent due:overdue
created_by:me created_at:this_week estimated:false

Use | for OR values. Use quotes for spaces.

For the full syntax, read Filter query language.

5. Check display options

Use Display options to change what the surface shows:

  • Hide done hides completed and cancelled work.
  • Hide subtasks hides sub-task rows.
  • Sub-tasks as children nests sub-tasks below parent issues on supported surfaces.

Display options can be saved into saved views.

6. Use My Work for personal queues

Open My Work when the question is "what needs my attention?"

Review:

  1. Due soon for overdue issues and work due in the next 7 days.
  2. Assigned to me for open work you own.
  3. Watching for open issues you follow.
  4. Recently viewed for issues you opened recently.

Click any issue row to open the canonical issue detail page and update it there.

7. Use triage signals before planning

Before sprint planning or weekly review, check triage signals such as:

  • Open work.
  • Unassigned work.
  • Unestimated work.

Then build a cleanup query:

project:tixi assigned_to:none hide_done:1
project:tixi estimated:false hide_done:1

Use the resulting list to assign owners, size work, add labels, or move work out of the backlog.

8. Save repeat searches

When a query or filter set is useful more than once, save it as a view.
