Issue List Widget Use Cases
Your Issues
You're a YouTrack user and want to be aware of all the issues that are assigned to you and unresolved for specific projects. Use the Issue List widget to display a list of all your unresolved issues for those projects on your dashboard.
Set this widget up by configuring the search context with the name of your project. In the search query field, enter Assignee: me and State: Unresolved.
All of the issues assigned to you that are not yet in a resolved state are now located in a convenient list on your dashboard.
Blocked Issues
You're a Youtrack project owner and want to make sure that your project issues are being completed as you expect. Sometimes team members run into problems completing issues because the issue state is Blocked. Use the Issue List widget on a dashboard to stay informed if you have blocked issues in your project.
Set this widget up by configuring search context with the name of your project and the search query to State: Blocked.
