IssueSearchSession

public interface IssueQuerySession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for searching among Issue objects. The search query is constructed using the IssueQuery.

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.
