Search buttons for status of a workflow

Samir Freelance

I would like to add buttons on the left pannel to filter my search and to make it easy for user and project manager or whoever
searching for a status of an issue

In my workflow there is step1,step2,step3,step4,step5
I wish to make 5 buttons :
button1 to search for status or step1 to check all the issues in work in progress step for example
button2 to search for status or step2 to check all the issues in Trans Requires Functional Design step
button3 to search for status or step3 to check all the issues in Coding done ,Request Tagged "Acceptance Pending" step
button4 to search for status or step4 to check all the issues in Coding Started
button5 to search for status or step5 ...

thanks for any help or any suggestion

The "simple search" panel already has functions to allow selection by status, so adding buttons there is needless duplication. (Or, you might want to just throw it away completely and write your own way of doing it less flexibly)

If you want to add panels like this in other places, it's not too difficult. I would advise against doing it globally - all you're doing is making a complex interface even more complex, but I'd see no problem with

1. Define 5 searches, either save them, or get the urls. Wrap them into a bit of html to make them pretty, wrap it into a dashboard gadget, share it and ask your users to add it to their dashboards.
2. You could add your filters to the project header "preset filters" list using a web-fragment
3. If you must add a panel, then you'll need some code. Atlassian's Confluence seems to be having problems at the moment - you need to refer to the "plugin guide" for writing new web-modules to provide it, but their system is saying my bookmarked link isn't there, even though searching for it returns it on a list...
