Use this interactive demo to learn how to unlock JQL search inside Jira in just a few clicks.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to access JQL (Jira Query Language) in Jira by navigating from the home page search bar to the dedicated JQL search mode. In under a minute, you can switch to JQL and start writing powerful queries to filter and find any work item across your projects.


Steps

  1. On Jira's main home page, head over to the top navigation bar and click the search bar.
  2. Tap 'View All Work Items' to expand the full search results view.
  3. Select 'JQL' as the search mode to switch from basic search to JQL.
  4. You can now access JQL in Jira — start running queries to find the work items you're looking for.

📌 Why this matters

JQL (Jira Query Language) is the most powerful way to search, filter, and report on work items in Jira, giving teams precise control over issue tracking and project visibility. Knowing how to access and switch to JQL mode unlocks advanced query capabilities that basic search simply cannot match. For project managers and developers alike, mastering JQL directly improves sprint planning, bug triage, and backlog management efficiency. This demo removes the guesswork by showing the exact navigation path to reach JQL in seconds.
