Default board filters

[Mieke-Kora Mantsch]

Hi all,

Is there a way to add default filters to a Jira Kanban board? Actually I just have some options on the board but I would like to extend this without using the quick filters. Quick filters don´t show a dropdown menue with multiple options to select. 

Example:

Many thanks,

Mieke

Hi Mieke-Kora,

No, this is the set of built in filters. Your best best is to use the Quick Filters.

Hello @John Funk , which built-in filters are available. I don't see the same filters in all boards. How we do to make all of them to appear? 

Are you planning to have a projects one? This will be very helpful

[John Funk]

You can copy a board that has the filters you want, then just modify the board for the other things you need.

@John Funk  But which built-in filters are available. Just want to know if i am missing any that can be available. Like a "projects" one that we need

like in this board  only label filter is available

But on this one i have 3 available

Depends on the project type - Company-managed, Team-managed? Jira Work Management? They're all different.

@John Funk I just added some screenshots on  my previous comment. Both of them are company managed and kanban boards

@John Funk  is there a list of built-in filter and under which conditions do they automatically appear?

[John Funk]

No there are no built-in Quick Filters per se. You would need to create a "template" board more or less with the desired Quick Filters and then copy the board to get a board where those already exist.

@John Funk I am not referring to quick filters. I am referring about the filters that appear that you pre-created. Like if you see my above comment on the screenshots.

You can see first screenshot where on "label" filter is shown. Second screenshot where  "epic", "type and "Label" appear. Both board where created using the same template a kanban board.

My question is do you have a list of this built- in filters? And under which conditions do they show, as there is no menu to enable them. They just appear

[John Funk]

I assume they show if you have issues that have labels or Epics on the board. That's what happens with which avatars of users show - it's the current user plus all users who are currently assigned at least one issue on the board.

@John Funk Are you planning to do one for "projects"?

[John Funk]

No, I am not. But I am just a user like you.  :-)

[jaime nogueroles llorens]

Ah sorry @John Funk  I thought you were part of jira team. 

[John Funk]

haha, no worries - I feel like I am some days.  :-)
