Quick filters

Quick Filters allow users to apply predefined JQL (Jira Query Language) queries to control which work items are displayed on the Board. They help narrow down the view by filtering tasks based on specific criteria, making it easier to focus on the most relevant data.

To access the Quick filters settings: Navigate to Board Settings > Select the Quick Filters tab.

Adding a Quick filter

You can create a new Quick filter by following these steps:

1. Click in the top-left corner.

2. Type Filter details:

• Name: Give your filter a clear, recognizable name (e.g., "Status done").

• JQL: Input a valid Jira Query Language expression (e.g., status = Done).

• Description (optional): Briefly describe the purpose of the filter for clarity.

3. Set Filter options:

• Scope: Check Global to make the filter available across all projects.

• Default: Check this to make the filter active by default when users open the board.

4. Click  at the end of the row to save the filter.

Your new Quick filter will be added to the list below:

When a filter is set as default, it is automatically applied to all members' views and cannot be modified by regular users. Only admins can make changes to default filters.

Once filters are created, you can apply them using the Filter picker located on the board.
