Organize search results
To view and organize search results:
Open Issue Tracker in your web browser.
Use the search bar, search builder, a hotlist or the
left-hand navigation to search for issues.
Choose the number of results per page you want displayed.
The number of results per page is controlled by the drop-down button found
in the upper right corner of the search results page. The button is to the
left of the numerical summary of your search results.
Remove any columns you don't want to view.
When hovering over a column header, a drop-down button appears. Click the
button and then click Remove Column to hide this information from the
search results page.
Add additional columns you want to view.
Each column has a drop-down button next to the header text. Click the
button of an existing column that is adjacent to where you want your new
column.
Choose Add column right or Add column left. A menu of issue
fields is displayed.
In the menu of issue fields, click the field you want to add. This
column is added on the chosen side of the existing column.
Change the order of columns by drag-clicking column headers.
When you move a column, a ghost image of the column header is attached to
your cursor, and the new location for the column appears as a vertical blue
line.
Click on a column header to sort your results by that column.
Clicking the same column header multiple times switches between ascending
and descending order.
Navigate to additional pages of results using the arrow buttons.
Issue Tracker remembers your customizations to the general search results page
for future searches. This includes your choice of results-per-page, the columns
to include in search results, the order those columns are presented, and how
issues are sorted. In addition, hotlists and saved searches can each have their
own customizations that differ from your general search customization.
