JIRA 4.3 : Scheduling an Issue
This page last changed on Apr 05, 2010 by rosie@atlassian.com.
On this page: Scheduling An IssueTo schedule an issue, populate its 'Due Date' field. This can be done either when creating an issue, or at a later stage by editing the issue.
Searching by 'Due Date'You can used either simple search or advanced search to search for issues by their Due Date. Using Simple SearchYou can search for issues using the search form Issue Navigator (see Searching for Issues. There are two ways to search for issues based on the 'Due Date' field. The first way is using fixed date values, the second is using periods that are relative to the current date. Fixed Date SearchesThere are two text fields in the search form that allow searching based on the 'Due Date' field.
It is also possible to search for issues that are due between two dates by populating both the 'Due After' and the 'Due Before' fields. Relative Period SearchIt is possible to perform a search that is relative to the time when it is run. For example, it is possible to do a search for issues that are due seven days from now. To do this, enter 7d into the 'Due Date To' text field of the Issue Navigator. If the search is saved and run the next day, the issues that are due in seven days from the time that the search is run will be retrieved. Thus, this search will find all issues that are due within a week every time it is run.
The values that are entered into the 'Due Date From' and 'Due Date To' fields have to conform to a special syntax (described below). However, it is also possible to use the Due Date popup by clicking the icon to the right of the 'Due Date To' text field to specify the search period. Due Date PopupThe Due Date popup is shown below.
Relative Period Search SyntaxThe 'Due Date From' and 'Due Date To' fields use a special syntax to denote time period bounds. The syntax uses numbers and abbreviations that follow the numbers to represent what the numbers actually mean. The abbreviations are "w" for weeks, "d" for days, "h" for hours and "m" for minutes. For example, to specify 10 days in the future use "10d" or "1w and 3d". To specify a period bound in the past prefix the value with the "-" sign. For example to specify 2 days, 4 hours and 3 minutes ago, use "-2d 4h 3m". Using Advanced SearchYou can also use JIRA Query Language (JQL) to search for issues by Due Date — see Advanced Searching, and particularly the documentation on the 'Due' field. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
