This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated front office view: searches include issues in front offices of which this front office is an ancestor in the front office hierarchy
  • isolated front office view: searches are restricted to issues in this frontOffice

Issues may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The record query is accessed via the IssueQuery.
