Updating the issue selection

To update the starting set of issues displayed in the diagram, type the selection query in 'Issue selection' field in the parameters and hit enter. The selection query must be written using JQL syntax.

The set of issues selected constitute the starting point to draw the graph. The diagram will actually show these issues plus their connected issues (outside the selection). Which connected issues will be added is determined by the Link direction selection.

Link direction

The Link direction parameter indicates which connected issues will be added to the starting selection. This allows you to discover, dependencies that you might miss otherwise. Let's see an example:

Joey types query 'Project = ABC' in issue selection field and hits enter. Direction selected is 'Both parents and children'. And let's say one of the issue of project ABC is blocked by an issue of project DEF and that another issue of project ABC blocks an issue of project GHI. The result will be a diagram showing all issues of project ABC (and their connexions) plus the blocking issue of DEF (and its connected issues) and the blocked issue of GHI (and its connected issues).

You change the Link direction by selecting the radio button corresponding to one of three values:

Both parents and childrenAdd all nodes connected to the starting set of issues
Children onlyAdd all children nodes of the starting set of issues
Parents onlyAdd all ancestor nodes of the starting set of issues

JQL queries

The starting set of issues used for the diagram is selected using a JQL query. JQL is a simple yet powerful query syntax defined by JIRA for selecting issues. For all details on JQL, please refer to JIRA's documentation on Advanced searching. The following table shows examples of frequently used JQL queries and their meaning:

JQLMeaning
Project = ABCAll issues of project ABC
Project in (ABC, DEF)All issues of projects ABC and DEF
Project = ABC and sprint = 'Sprint 9'All issues of Sprint 9 of project ABC
Project = ABC and fixversion = '3.1'All issues of version 3.1 of project ABC
Project = ABC and status != doneAll issues of project ABC that are not done
Project = ABC and assignee != jsmithAll issues of project ABC that are not assigned to user jsmith
Project = ABC and duedate < now()All overdue issues of project ABC

The selected issues constitute

Orphans

Orphans are all selected issues that have no connections to other issues. You can hide (or show) them by unselecting (or selecting) the 'Show orphans' option in the parameters panel on the right. Toggling that value redraws the diagram and moves the remaining nodes to their preferred position. When orphan issues are hidden, the label at the top left of the diagram indicating the number of issues shown is updated to indicate how many issues are now hidden.
