9 | | When you first go to the query page the default filters will display all open tickets, or if you're logged in it will display open tickets assigned to you. Current filters can be removed by clicking the button to the right with the minus sign on the label. New filters are added from the pulldown list in the bottom-right corner of the filters box. Filters with either a text box or a pulldown menu of options can be added multiple times to perform an ''or'' of the criteria. |

| 10 | When you first go to the query page, the default filter will display tickets relevant to you: |
| 11 | * If logged in then all open tickets, it will display open tickets assigned to you. |
| 12 | * If not logged in but you have specified a name or email address in the preferences, then it will display all open tickets where your email (or name if email not defined) is in the CC list. |
| 13 | * If not logged in and no name/email is defined in the preferences, then all open issues are displayed. |

| 15 | Current filters can be removed by clicking the button to the left with the minus sign on the label. New filters are added from the dropdown lists at the bottom corners of the filters box; 'And' conditions on the left, 'Or' conditions on the right. Filters with either a text box or a dropdown menu of options can be added multiple times to perform an ''Or'' on the criteria. |
18 | | You can safely edit any of the tickets and continue to navigate through the results using the ''Next/Previous/Back to Query'' links after saving your results. When you return to the query ''any tickets which were edited'' will be displayed with italicized text. If one of the tickets was edited such that [[html(<span style="color: grey">it no longer matches the query criteria </span>)]] the text will also be greyed. Lastly, if '''a new ticket matching the query criteria has been created''', it will be shown in bold. |
| 23 | Clicking on one of the query results will take you to that ticket. You can navigate through the results by clicking the ''Next Ticket'' or ''Previous Ticket'' links just below the main menu bar, or click the ''Back to Query'' link to return to the query page. |

48 | | The [trac:TicketQuery TicketQuery] macro lets you display lists of tickets matching certain criteria anywhere you can use WikiFormatting. |
49 | | |
50 | | Example: |
51 | | {{{ |
52 | | [[TicketQuery(version=0.6|0.7&resolution=duplicate)]] |
53 | | }}} |
54 | | |
55 | | This is displayed as: |
56 | | [[TicketQuery(version=0.6|0.7&resolution=duplicate)]] |
57 | | |
58 | | Just like the [wiki:TracQuery#UsingTracLinks query: wiki links], the parameter of this macro expects a query string formatted according to the rules of the simple [wiki:TracQuery#QueryLanguage ticket query language]. |
59 | | |
60 | | A more compact representation without the ticket summaries is also available: |
61 | | {{{ |
62 | | [[TicketQuery(version=0.6|0.7&resolution=duplicate, compact)]] |
63 | | }}} |
64 | | |
65 | | This is displayed as: |
66 | | [[TicketQuery(version=0.6|0.7&resolution=duplicate, compact)]] |
67 | | |
68 | | Finally if you wish to receive only the number of defects that match the query using the ``count`` parameter. |
69 | | |
70 | | {{{ |
71 | | [[TicketQuery(version=0.6|0.7&resolution=duplicate, count)]] |
72 | | }}} |
73 | | |
74 | | This is displayed as: |
75 | | [[TicketQuery(version=0.6|0.7&resolution=duplicate, count)]] |
76 | | |
77 | | === Customizing the ''table'' format === |
78 | | You can also customize the columns displayed in the table format (''format=table'') by using ''col=<field>'' - you can specify multiple fields and what order they are displayed by placing pipes (`|`) between the columns like below: |

90 | | `query:` TracLinks and the `[[TicketQuery]]` macro both use a mini “query language” for specifying query filters. Basically, the filters are separated by ampersands (`&`). Each filter then consists of the ticket field name, an operator, and one or more values. More than one value are separated by a pipe (`|`), meaning that the filter matches any of the values. |
| 75 | This is displayed as: |
| 76 | [[TicketQuery(max=3,status=closed,order=id,desc=1,format=table,col=resolution|summary|owner|reporter,rows=description)]] |

| 78 | == Query Language |
| 79 | |
| 80 | `query:` TracLinks and the `[[TicketQuery]]` macro both use a mini “query language” for specifying query filters. Filters are separated by ampersands (`&`). Each filter consists of the ticket field name, an operator and one or more values. More than one value are separated by a pipe (`|`), meaning that the filter matches any of the values. To include a literal `&` or `|` in a value, escape the character with a backslash (`\`). |
| 94 | The date fields `created` and `modified` can be constrained by using the `=` operator and specifying a value containing two dates separated by two dots (`..`). Either end of the date range can be left empty, meaning that the corresponding end of the range is open. The date parser understands a few natural date specifications like "3 weeks ago", "last month" and "now", as well as Bugzilla-style date specifications like "1d", "2w", "3m" or "4y" for 1 day, 2 weeks, 3 months and 4 years, respectively. Spaces in date specifications can be omitted to avoid having to quote the query string. |
| 95 | || '''`created=2007-01-01..2008-01-01`''' || query tickets created in 2007 || |
| 96 | || '''`created=lastmonth..thismonth`''' || query tickets created during the previous month || |
| 97 | || '''`modified=1weekago..`''' || query tickets that have been modified in the last week || |
| 98 | || '''`modified=..30daysago`''' || query tickets that have been inactive for the last 30 days || |
