Can't see board on project due to complexity of filter.

Question

I'm on a server version of JIRA used across the entire Enterprise, including multiple departments. My Department participates in a lot or projects across the enterprise and it's difficult to track. I've set up a KANBAN board that shows all issues assigned to to all members of my department, however due to the complexity of the filter I used it isn't showing up on the department projects...which I'd like it to do.

I have two boards with two filters. This first is assignee = user1 or asignee = user 2....ect

The 2nd is just a currentUser() filter.

Problem is there are hundreds of projects in the enterprise.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Late in the game but, because I just stumbled on it, for completeness this can be related to Error "The projects in this board cannot be listed because of the complexity of the board filter".

The trigger was:

Problem is there are hundreds of projects in the enterprise.

Following the already mentioned thread, the fix will be restricting the data (e.g., to a project or small set of projects or even though an alternative smart restriction).

Being able to track the work everyone is doing across the department to see where we need to level resources.

Hi @Jason Markowitz and welcome to the community!

It may help people answer this issue if you would please describe what problem are you trying to solve by having a board that spans all of the projects for a department.  Thank you!

Best regards,
