How to view action of user stories from different board on a master board.

[Rashad Hickman]

We currently have 7 product lines that each has a different project manager.  Within these product lines, there are specific user stories that we want to be displayed on a Centralized Board.  What is the best way to do this?

I'd create a new board, with a filter that pulls out the issues you want to see on it.

The question becomes how you identify these issues - is it as simple as "they have a project manager in a field"?  Or maybe you label them, or possibly an issue type with the assignee being the PM?

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- I've tried this approach, but for some reason, the new board does not allow me to pull the issues.  The issues would be identified by adding a label.  

 Here is our set up.  Each Product team has their own Main board with different product Boards under them, for example

Product T1

    Product1 Board

    Product 2 Board

    Product 3 Board

Product T2

   Prod 1  

    Prod 2

   Prod 3

I created a Master board and tried to pull the user stories from these boards, using quick filters, but had no success.  Nothing was pulled.  Am I missing something here?

Quick filters are not for selecting issues for the board, they are for drilling down into a board by letting you further filter the issues after the board filter gets them.

To get an issue on the board, it has to match the board filter - go to board -> config and the main page, that has the filter definition on it, and that's the filter that needs to say "label in (x, y, z)"

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-Where can I find this option?  It's hiding and I can't seem to find it

Should be in the ... menu to the top right of the board.

Unless the board is from a "Next Gen" project, where you're a bit stuck as they aren't really configurable enough yet.
