   Warning

   Important

   • The User ID filter requires an exact match to show any results.
   • The remaining filters can use a string ending in a wildcard character (asterisk ‘*’) except the Stream and Application, which contain a selection list.
   • Some field names are configurable (For example, ISSUE # may be WORKREF in your installation).
3. Select the desired release and click OK. The release is added to the Release list in the Release view and the tasks in the release are added to the table.
