Issue Filters on Work Log Dialog

If you are entering work logs at the end of a day, week or month and not at the time you work on the issue, it may be difficult to find issues to enter work logs. WorkLogPRO may help you to find those issues. Firstly, issue field has search capability. The text you entered into issue field will be searched in JIRA issues and matching issues will be returned. Issue's key and summary field is searched, other parts such as comments or description field is not searched. The other one is built-in filters. On top of work log dialog you are seeing several links that will help you to locate issues you are related somehow. You can use both features at the same time. If you select a filter and perform a search by entering a text into issue field of the dialog, only issues that match the selected filter and contain the selected text is returned. For example if you select Watched filter and enter a project key into the issue field, only the issues your are watching in that project is returned. Lets pass over all those links and describe which issues each one displays.

Note that you may have permission to see and issue but may not have permission to work on the issue. In that case you will receive an error message that will inform you that you don't have "Log Work" permission for that issue. In that case you should inform related project administrator to allow you to enter work logs for that project.

All of following filters limit which issues are shown in Issue field of "Work Log Dialog".

All: Simple, all issues that you have permission to see.
Recent: Shows latest issues you have viewed.
Assigned: Shows latest issues assigned to you.

Filters: You can search a filter from your favorite or owned filters.
