Product Information

YouTrack is a web based issue tracker that accepts a command-line like syntax for searching for, and updating, issues. With its simple to use interface and support for a wide range of keyboard shortcuts, users can search for and add issues quickly. The powerful search query syntax can return practically any combination of issues, for example to search for all critical issues assigned to an individual you would type 'for: (assignee) priority: critical' or for all issues you added today: '#my #issues created: today'. YouTrack issues themselves can hold a variety of data, custom attributes and tags, support user comments, user voting and more. Deployable as a JAR, EXE or WAR file, YouTrack can be run as a standalone Java process or on a range of Java application servers including Apache Tomcat 6+, Apache Geronimo, Mortbay Jetty, Caucho Resin, Glassfish and JBoss 4+.

Search for issues

• Single search box to find any combination of issues. The search box supports query completion and highlighting, recent searches, saved searches and tags.
• Search queries let you use numerous keywords to search for issues such as 'state: unresolved' to find all unresolved issues, and 'assigned to: assignee' to find all issues assigned to a particular individual.
• Query completion and highlighting (invoked automatically) makes searching even faster.
• Your 10 most recent searches drop down so you can easily repeat them

Navigate through issues

• Complete lists of issues can easily be displayed in multiple views and can be controlled through keyboard shortcuts
• Full issue view mode displays all the details about said issue including comments, tags, history of changes, users who voted for the issue, users who are watching the issue, and more.
• Sort issues in two different ways

Organise issues

• Tags - create any number of tags and add them to issues. Colour tags and share tags, that is, control who can view the tag and who can add issues to it. Tags are the perfect way of organising issues, for example mark issues as 'urgent fixes' and apply to any issues as required. All urgent fixes can then easily be found and viewed.
• Link issues by dependency (e.g. 'relates to', 'depends on' and 'duplicates') and create links for multiple issues simultaneously.
• Use Matrix Reports to compare a group of issues and two of their variable attributes along two axes.
• Use saved searches which save a search query for future use

User control

• Users can login using their OpenID from Google, Yahoo, AOL or Blogger.com, their existing JIRA credentials if migrating from JIRA, or from a LDAP service
• Enable user commenting of issues
• Enable user voting for issues
• Enable user watching of issues with issue status updates via jabber or e-mail and optionally receive notifications when events relating to the issue change (e.g. when someone opens your issue for the first time)
• Share and save searches and tags

Administration

• Runs out-of-the-box . The embedded database engine requires no installation or configuration on your part.
• The Administration Area enables configuration of permissions, roles, groups, users, projects, LDAP, OpenID, text indexing and enables you to schedule and run database backups.
• Custom attributes enable you to define your own states, types, priorities etc.
• Customisable workflow is a set of rules that can be attached to a project to define the life-cycle of the project's issues.
• Integration with JetBrains JIRA - import your JIRA projects and bugs into YouTrack. Additionally import groups, roles and group memberships meaning that your users will be able to log into YouTrack with their existing JIRA credentials.
• Integration with JetBrains TeamCity - Sync changes between TeamCity and YouTrack. E.G. If a comment submitted with a TeamCity change contains an issue ID, the issue can be automatically marked as fixed and the Fixed in build attribute is filled with a corresponding build number.
