Creating a filter with a joint search between two boards

Tobbe Wilson

Hi,

I have two boards, and i want to create a dashboard gadget that shows information from both of them. Both have one key field which needs to be the same so i'm basically looking for something like this:

project = "BOARD1" AND project = "BOARD2" AND "ID" ~ "SE0213"

I would also like to order the result by column in BOARD2.

Is this possible?

Tobbe, I hope my answer makes sense here as I'm a bit confused by your question.

First it is important to understand that issues do not belong to boards. Boards are simply a visual filter view of issues that are associated with one or more projects. What is displayed on the board is governed by the board's filter(s). Now for a dashboard gadget, it too makes use of a saved filter or an entire project. If you want to have a dashboard gadget illustrate data that is associated with what you see on multiple boards then you simply need to create and save a filter that results in your desired outcome.

Now trying to apply these concepts to your question I would offer the following. Look at the filters for your two boards and combine them into a single filter with any additional conditions/fields to obtain your desired outcome.

Example...

Let's say board 1 filter is - project = ABC and board 2 filter is - project = 123. Then my new filter might be - project in (ABC, 123) and ID ~ "SE0213". Note I don't know what "ID" is here, maybe it is a custom field?

further comments/question? JLMK.
