Project Page – Advanced Link Manager for Jira


The Project Page in Advanced Link Manager gives you a focused and powerful way to manage linked issues within a single Jira project.

It allows you to filter, organize, highlight, and analyze issue relationships with precision.

From dependency tracking to bulk link management and custom hierarchy configuration using Compose Tree, the Project Page provides everything you need to control and understand your project’s structure in one centralized view.






Filters

Basic filters

  • The Project Page provides powerful filtering options to help you quickly focus on relevant issues.

Available Filters

Since you are already inside a specific project, the project filter is automatically applied.

You can filter by:

  • Status: Select one or multiple statuses (To Do, In Progress, Done) or filter by status category.

  • Link Type: Filter issues based on relationship type such as blocks, causes, clones, duplicates, etc.

  • Work Item Type: Filter by issue types like Epic, Story, Task, Bug, etc.

  • Priority: Filter by priority level (Highest, High, Medium, Low).

  • Clear Filters: Instantly remove all applied filters and reset the view.

Important Note

  • Filters are applied to root issues (main issues) by default.

  • Linked issues and child issues are not affected unless Filter Descendants toggle is disabled.


Filter by JQL

  • You can search and filter issues using JQL (Jira Query Language) directly from the Project Page.

What You Can Do

  • Enter any valid JQL query related to the current project

  • Combine multiple conditions for advanced filtering

Example Queries

assignee = currentUser() AND priority = High


Select Saved Filter

  • Use the Saved Filter option to quickly apply an existing Jira filter.

  • Simply choose one of your saved filters from the dropdown list, and the results will automatically display in the table.

Levels Display (Hierarchy Depth)

  • You can display up to 6 levels of linked issues.Choose the exact level depth from level 1 to 6 you want to show in the table.


Highlight Options

Highlighting helps you quickly identify important issues.

Available Highlight Modes

  • Highlight My Work: Highlights issues assigned to the current user.

  • Highlight Priority: Highlights highest-priority issues.

  • Highlight Recently Changed: Highlights issues recently updated.

If multiple highlight options apply to the same issue (for example, assigned to you and highest priority), the highlight colors will be combined visually in the table .

  • Link Type

  • Assignee

  • Priority

  • Status

Expand and Collapse Levels

You can:

  • Expand issues level by level (from Level 1 up to Level 6)

  • Expand root work items directly

This makes it easier to navigate large dependency structures inside the project.


Refresh Data

The Refresh button reloads the table.
