Organize Issues

Tags

Tags allow you to group issues the way you like, irrelevant of their attributes.

For example, you can create a tag fix it today and associate it with issues from different projects, subsystems etc.

Tags can be associated with any number of issues through the Command window or using the Tag button in the sidebar. Of course, any issue can be associated with unlimited number of tags.

Any user-defined tag can be set to untag on resolve, that is, as soon as you fix an issue associated with the tag, the association automatically ends.

In addition, you can assign different colors to mark tags, and share tags — that is, choose whether to allow other users to view and update your tags.

Saved Searches

You can save a search query for future use. You'll definitely appreciate this feature when you end up filtering issues with a query like this:
in: {ReSharper Support}, dotTrace state: Open by: andrew.serebryansky for: oleg.stepanov priority: Critical, Show-stopper sort by: votes, updated asc

To create a saved search, click Save this search under the search box, enter a name for the query and, optionally, share it with other users, just like you do with tags.

In addition, you can type saved search: in the search box, and choose a saved search using query completion.

Customizable Sidebar

Existing tags and saved searches are shown in the sidebar to the left of the list of issues. By default, it shows user-defined tags (personal and shared) and a Star tag for issues that you subscribe to watch in the Tag area, and default saved searches: assigned to me, commented by me, reported by me in the saved searches area. All the other tags and saved searches are hidden by default. You can choose which tags and saved searches are visible in your sidebar by shoving/hiding items in the list. Organize your sidebar to have all the tags and saved searches you need right in front of you, or hide the whole sidebar when you need more space on the issue list with the mouse click or using Ctrl+Shift+BACKSPACE shortcut.

Linking Issues

You can link issues to one another using various dependency types, including "relates to", "depends on", "duplicates", etc.

+

Two features make this task faster and more convenient:

• You can set links for multiple issues simultaneously. Select several issues, click Link in the toolbar, and when the Command window shows up, specify the destination issue.
• You can execute full-text search among issues instead of specifying the exact issue ID — for example, type "toolbar" to filter out all issues containing the word "toolbar" and choose one of them (see image above).

Matrix Reports

For any set of issues found, you can create a report as a matrix, choosing different issue attributes for the two axes. To configure a report, click Create matrix report under the search box.
