If you want to find work items associated with your OKRs for bulk updates or analysis, you can use JQL (Jira Query Language) to search for work items connected to either a specific Key Result or to all KRs under a specific Objective.

Visit the [Link work items to Key Results](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPM/pages/1918507296) page to learn about linking Jira work items to Key Results.

## JQL search in Jira

To use JQL search to find linked work items (Jira work items) to specific OKRs:

1. Select **Search** in the top navigation (or press `/` on your keyboard). Alternatively, select **Filters** in the sidebar.
2. Select **View all work items** at the bottom of the dropdown.
3. On the **All work** page, select **JQL** (next to the search bar).

4. Enter your JQL query and press **Enter** to run it. Your search results will be displayed based on the criteria in your JQL query.

## JQL queries for searching linked work items

In the JQL input field, use the following queries to find work items connected to a Key Result or to all KRs under a specific Objective:

| **JQL query** | **Notes** |
| --- | --- |
