Problem: I created this confluence page that acts as a single source of truth for the community. I wan't sure who was reading or looking at this page. Also helps me when I roll out comms  to make sure the right number of people and the appropriate people has seen it. Solution: You could enable the Confluence Usage Stats plugin and you would be able to see anonymous viewing stats for all pages: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/View+Space+Activity OR You could install the viewtracker plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ch.bitvoodoo.confluence.plugins.viewtracker Source: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-there-an-ability-to-see-who-has-visited-a-page-and-how-many/qaq-p/72335

Solution: Create a filter Add a subscription You can create a filter in JIRA that matches the criteria you need. Save the filter with an appropriate name -  https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira064/using-filters-720416526.html Some examples for JQL tips and tricks -  https://www.alfresco.com/blogs/developer/2016/05/18/top-10-jql-tips-from-first-steps-to-seasoned-traveler/ Now click details link of the filter We can then subscribe to that filter.\ Whenever a new issue matches that filter, JIRA will email you. You can set notifications to whatever period you want. For example, you can make sure the list of critical issues are in your inbox every morning.

I have been playing around with jql Queries for those who don't know what these are: JQL is an extension for JIRA that provides support for querying collections of objects. The JIRA Query Language , some interesting queries:  Find all issues without a DueDate , sorted by CreationDate , then by Priority (lowest to highest): duedate = empty order by created, priority asc Find all issues where the Reporter or Assignee is anyone except John Smith: assignee != "John Smith" or reporter != "John Smith" Work logged in last two weeks with assignee x,y,z ordered by priority and updated project = test AND worklogDate >= -2w AND assignee in (Tom, Harry, Sick) ORDER BY priority DESC, updated DESC An interesting blog on "The most flexible way to search JIRA" http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/02/jql-the-most-flexible-way-to-search-jira-24/ and the atlassian blog explaining it all: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/03/jql-recap/
