The search box functionality helps you quickly find the things you're interested in and filter out unwanted tasks or work. The search box operates in two modes:

  • Text search mode, which filters information based on the Jira summary field.

  • JQL mode, which filters information using JQL queries.

To learn more about BigPicture JQL commands, see the Enhanced JQL page.

Text search

You can search the task list using the text fields of your tasks.

JQL search

Start typing in the search box to open the JQL drop-down, which will help you find the query. The icon will change to red if the JQL query you typed is incorrect.

For example, search for a specific issue type, such as task, type in the following JQL query: issuetype = task.

Active search

The active search box will be cleared automatically when you switch to another module and then return to the Scope module.

Apply filters

You will see an orange dot on the filter icon when the filter is active.

Tasks that do not match the filter will be greyed out. This applies to parent tasks, so you can trace how lower-level tasks contribute to higher-level items.

Note: Use the Hide parent tasks in results filter to only display the tasks that match the search query or filter.

Clear filter

To clear the search box:

  1. Delete your search query and press the enter key, or

  2. Click on the magnifying glass button.
