How to run a query

1. Go to https://mifos.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectIssues
2. Log in. You must first Register.
3. Click Query database.

The screen that displays will show many fields (Note: All fields are NOT shown in the example below). You have a few options:

• Click Submit Query to run the default query. This query will show you all the mifos issues where the STATUS = NEW, STARTED, or REOPENED.
  

• Craft a Custom Query: Look at fields and add or remove items to the a query to get only the defects you wish to see. You may want to save the query as a Remembered Query.

• Scroll to the bottom and click Queries: My Issues. Note: if you do not have any Issues, no results will return.

Key points on queries

• You may select multiple items in a field by holding down the CTRL key while clicking. You may also unselect items in this manner.
• As soon as you add something to the query, ONLY issues with those attributes will appear, so be certain to review each field if your query is not what you expect.
• https://mifos.dev.java.net/scdocs/ddIssues_Query.html has more detail on what each field contains.
• Remember that the page loads with default criteria, so you may need to remove the default criteria
