The Asset Navigator lets you search for and manage assets in JIRA. Create, Edit, Link, Clone, Delete assets, printing single or multiple QR + labels, Check-in or Check-out, and bulk operations are supported. Asset Navigator is available on the "Assets" top menu "Asset Navigator" link.
Asset Navigator Display Modes
It has 3 modes:
- Detail view: Assets for multiple asset types are displayed, show one asset's all attributes and additionally shows attachments and linked issues
- List view: Assets for single asset type are displayed in table list view (like excel). List all attributes of the asset type but attachments and linked issues are not displayed on the list - asset needs to be displayed separately.
- Advanced Search: Search with Lucene queries. It is not easy to write but it is very powerful to query assets.
