Documentation for JIRA 5.1.x. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.
The Issue Navigator displays the search results from an issue filter, a Quick Search or an Advanced Search, e.g:
On this page:
The Issue Navigator provides convenient ways to perform many of JIRA's most useful functions. You can:
Use the actions icon
for a particular issue to perform the following actions:Note that some options in the Actions menu will only be available if you have the necessary permissions, or if certain features have been enabled by your JIRA administrator. Options which change an issue's Status (Resolve issue, Close issue, Reopen issue) may differ from this list, depending on your organisation's workflow.
The Issue Navigator only displays one set of search results at any one time, even if you have multiple browser windows open. However, you can easily save your searches (see 'issue filters'), then display them as needed.
When viewing search results in the Issue Navigator, you can re-order the issues by clicking on the column header*. For example, if you click the 'Reporter' column header, the Issue Navigator will re-display the issues in ascending order of reporter's name. If you click the 'Reporter' column header a second time, the Issue Navigator will re-display the issues in descending order of reporter's name.
* With some exceptions, e.g. the 'Images' column and the sub-task aggregate columns (i.e. all columns beginning with '∑') are non-orderable.
To choose different fields to display in your Issue Navigator, see Customizing your Issue Navigator.
If you are performing an advanced search, re-ordering issues in the Issue Navigator adds an 'ORDER BY' keyword and associated content to your JQL query (or modifies any existing 'ORDER BY' content), to reflect the order of issues in your search results. This comes in useful if you need to save searches for other purposes.
When an issue from a search result set is selected and displayed, a mini-navigator is shown at the right of the issue's title bar:
This mini-navigator indicates the current issue's position within the result set. It also provides linked arrow icons to the previous and next issues in the result set (as shown in the image above), along with a 'Return to search' link that leads you back to the search results. You can also navigate through the search results by using the shortcut keys: 'p' (previous) and 'n' (next).

). The problem with this method is that it transmits your username and password across the wire in clear text, which may not be an option for some users.http://mycompany.com/anypage?os_authType=basic
). This will force the server to issue a challenge for user credentials (i.e. a login prompt) via the basic http authentication protocol. If you are running over SSL, you still need to specify the os_authType=basic parameter if you require the user to authenticate.
