The Issues List

Last modified: 19 February 2025

The Issues list displays a list of issues in your YouTrack installation. The unfiltered list shows you all the issues that belong to the projects for which you have the Read Issue permission.

Unfiltered list of issues in YouTrack.

This page has several different parts, including:

  • Quick access to a list of recently viewed items. To learn more about this feature, see Recent Issues and Articles.

  • A breadcrumb navigation panel in the header. This helps you understand what filters are currently applied to the list and lets you navigate between frequently used search criteria.

  • The sidebar lets you access issue drafts and filter the list by saved search, project, or tag. You can choose to keep it always open or hide it when not needed. It also lets you filter the list of issues using saved searches, projects, or tags.

    To learn more about the features supported in the sidebar, see Load Issue Drafts, Saved Searches, Projects, and Tag Issues.

  • The search box lets you find issues using dynamic filters and search queries. To learn more about this feature, see Search.

  • The main content area of the page displays a list of issues that match the current search or filter criteria. This is where you can scan and browse the list to get an overview of your project or find and focus on your next task.

    The list itself can be configured to display information in various ways according to your personal preference. To see a complete list of options, see Recent Issues and Articles.

  • An issue toolbar gives you access to perform updates on a selection of issues. To learn more about this feature, see Issue Toolbar.

If you want to zero in on the issues that are relevant to your work, use the following options:

  • Select a saved search in the sidebar — YouTrack automatically creates a handful of search queries for new users, like Assigned to me and Commented by me. If you want quick access to issues that match a specific collection of attributes, you can define and save your own search queries at any time.

  • Find issues that match specific filters — in filter mode, YouTrack suggests possible attributes and values as you type. This lets you filter for issues with specific attributes or find issues that contain matching text for specific words.

  • Search for issues that match a query — in query mode, the input field lets you search for arbitrary strings of text or find issues that contain specific values for predefined attributes.

    To learn more about the search box, see Search.

No matter which setup you prefer, YouTrack remembers which view you last used when working with the Issues list. This helps you stay focused and clear out all of your pending issues until you're ready to move onto the next set of tasks.
