✨ Trick to Create and Save Multiple List Views in Jira Cloud

[#1]

Hi Everyone, 

This is my 1st article not sure how much is helpful for jira users. 

Shortcut Method for Quick Access

Jira Cloud's List View provides a clean, spreadsheet-style interface to view and manage issues. While it doesn't offer direct ways to save multiple list configurations, there's a clever workaround using the "Shortcuts" tab in the project to save and switch between customized list views.

Here's how you can do it step-by-step:

Steps to Create and Save Multiple List Views via Shortcuts

 1. Go to the List View

• Navigate to your project.

• Click on the "List" tab.
  This brings up the List View layout for your issues.

 2. Apply Filters to Create a Custom List View

• Use the filter bar at the top of the List View.

• For example, if you want to view only completed issues:

  • Click the “Status” dropdown.

  • Select "Done".

This filters the List View accordingly.

3. Copy the Sharing Link

• After applying the filters, Jira automatically updates the URL.

• Click the “Share” button (top right corner).

• Copy the generated URL — this link preserves your filter and layout!
  

 4. Add the Link in the Shortcuts Tab

• Click "Shortcuts" → "Add shortcut".

• Paste the copied link.

• Give it a clear name, like: “Done Tasks List”.

 5. Rename the Shortcuts Section (Optional)

• Click the three(...) dots next to "Shortcuts".

• Rename it to "List Views" for clarity.

 6. Repeat for Other Useful Views

Want to see tasks Due This Week?

• Apply the “Due Date” filter → select “Due this week”.

• Click Share → Copy the link.

• Go to Shortcuts → Add another shortcut.

• Name it “Due This Week”.

Repeat this process for other useful list views like:

• My Open Issues

• High Priority Bugs

• Issues Without Estimates

• Upcoming Releases

• Sprint-Specific Tasks

Result

Your "List Views" section now becomes a quick-access menu to open various pre-filtered list views in one click — without creating separate filters or dashboards!
