Sorting and Filtering Ideas/Tickets

You can sort ideas in the following way:

Recently updated - ideas are sorted by the recent updates (idea status change or new comments).
Top - ideas are sorted by the number of votes.
New - ideas are sorted by the creation date.

You can sort tickets in the following way:

Recently updated - tickets are sorted by the recent updates (ticket status change or new comments).
New - tickets are sorted by the creation date.
Assigned to me - shows the tickets that are assigned to the currently logged JIRA agent. It is available only on the listing with support tickets in Customer Case.

Select the appropriate parameter to sort out the list of ideas or tickets.

You can filter ideas and tickets by the following criteria:

Status - ideas or tickets are filtered by the current status. You can filter only by one status.
Category - ideas or tickets are filtered by the category. Any idea may be associated with multiple categories, but filtration is performed by one category. Ideas with multiple categories will be filtered according to the selected category.

Above the list with ideas or tickets, select the criterion to filter items. You can combine the Status and Category filters for more precise results.

Statuses of ideas / tickets are determined by JIRA workflow configured for the particular project. For the details, refer to What is Workflow.
Categories of ideas / tickets are determined from JIRA components. For the details. refer to Defining a Component.

Working with Ideas and Tickets

By clicking the idea or ticket title, you will be redirected to the standard page for viewing details of the idea or ticket.

The add-on adds a separate section Customer Portal for viewing customers' comments for particular ideas or tickets and replying to them from JIRA.

The agent can post or edit comments (both own and users'). All the comments posted through the Customer Portal tab will be shown to customers when they open the corresponding idea. When the agent starts progress on the issue or resolves it, the corresponding status is shown to customers in Customer Case. Optionally, the agent can attach one or multiple attachments to the comment, these attachments will be visible in Customer Case too.

The Customer Portal block shows the author of idea, the number of votes and the public URL, which the current idea is available at. For the ticket, only the author and the public URL is shown. The agent can immediately proceed to the customer's area of Customer Case portal for viewing idea or ticket details by clicking the Public URL link.

All the attachments uploaded through JIRA will not be visible in Customer Case. Only the files attached to the comments on the Customer Portal tab are visible in Customer Case.

A JIRA agent who first comments the newly submitted ticket becomes the assignee of this ticket automatically.

Searching for Ideas using JQL

The add-on has a special JQL query for searching for ideas with votes.

# For example, issue.property[cc.vote].total > 2 - searches for all issues having more than 2 votes.
issue.property[cc.vote].total + operator + number

More examples:

# Filters ideas by number of votes in the ascending (or descending order).
ORDER BY issue.property[cc.vote].total ASC (or DESC)

# Filters ideas  from the specified project in the ascending (or descending order).
project="PROJECT_NAME" ORDER BY issue.property[cc.vote].total ASC (or DESC)

# Searches in the specified project for ideas with the number of votes more than 2 and shows them in the ascending order.
project="PROJECT_NAME" AND issue.property[cc.vote].total > 2 ORDER BY issue.property[cc.vote].total ASC

Once you have created the JQL query, you can save it as a filter
