Advanced Search: Codes And Keywords

If you know that you are looking for work items attached to a particular project then select the 'Project Code' in the drop-down menu. Initially, sub-project codes are not shown to make the list more manageable. If you require a greater level of detail, you may select "Include sub Project Codes" link.

Similarly you can search for a work item by 'Keyword'.

If you wish to select more than one Project Code or Keyword, then in both cases you can do this by holding the Ctrl button and clicking on the codes required. When more than one Project Code or Keyword is selected you have the choice of combining them either with the OR function ("One Of") or the AND function ("All").
