Issue Flow for Jira Documentation
Once Issue Flow is installed, it is accessible via multiple paths.

- System level: In the menu bar, under the Apps menu item, click 'Issue Flow by Den Red Wolf'.Modifying Links
- New Blocks links can be established by clicking the outward-pointing triangle on a card and dragging to the inward-pointing triangle of a second card. The first issue will be marked as Blocks the second issue, and is automatically saved.
- When clicked, a link line will animate to indicate it is selected.
- Links between issues can be removed by selecting the link line and then pressing the Backspace or Delete buttons on the keyboard.Viewing Issue Links

- The default query includes only non-Closed issues with Blocks links (issueLinkType = blocks).
- All issue link types can be displayed by with JQL including issueLinkType IS NOT EMPTY.
- Issues without links found by the JQL query will also be displayed, but without connecting lines.
- The issue flow graph can be zoomed with the controls in the bottom-left corner, a mouse's scroll wheel, or a touchpad's pinch gesture.Issue Card Layout
- Issue cards can be temporarily reorganized by click-dragging them around the issue flow graph.
- Issue cards can be automatically reorganized by clicking the "Reset Layout" hierarchy icon in the top-right of the issue flow graph.
