Who doesn’t love a shortcut? In addition to Jira’s keyboard shortcuts, another easy way to find what you’re looking for is by changing parameters in URLs in your browser’s address bar.
For example, at the end of your Jira URL, add “/browse/” and an issue ID to go straight to an issue’s details page.
Change: your-jira-URL/browse/ To: your-jira-URL/browse/ISSUE-123
Here are some ways I frequently use this “hack”. Simply prepend your Jira URL and change the bolded parameters. In some instances, Jira will redirect you to a longer URL.
Jira
Projects
Format: /browse/PROJECT-KEY Example: /browse/HR
Boards
Cloud
Format: /jira/software/c/projects/PROJECT-KEY /boards/BOARD-ID Example: /jira/software/c/projects/DEV /boards/39
Server and Data Center
Format: /secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=BOARD-ID Example: /secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=11
Dashboards
Cloud
Format: /jira/dashboards/DASHBOARD-ID Example: /jira/dashboards/10000 TIP: ID 10000 is the default system dashboard
Server and Data Center
Format: /secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=DASHBOARD-ID Example: /secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10000 TIP: ID 10000 is the default system dashboard
Filters
Format: /issues/?filter=FILTER-ID Example: /issues/?filter=10045
JQL Keyword Search
Format: /issues/?jql=text%20~%20″KEYWORD “ Example: /issues/?jql=text%20~%20″website%20error “
Tips:
Use “%20” to represent a space in a URL. For additional character codes, see: HTML URL Encoding Reference .
In JQL, use the format “text ~ keyword” to find issues that contain specific keywords in an issue’s summary, description, or comment fields.
JQL Query
Format: /issues/?jql=JQL-QUERY Example: For the JQL query “status = backlog” /issues/?jql=status%20%3D%20backlog
