Pull release vs unreleased items into dashboard filter

Question

On the release dashboard there is a status for release and unrelease.  This is different than the status used in a story (Ready/In Progress/Done).  How do I pull in the release and unrelease status to my dashboard?  Is there another name for this category?

What determines the status of release vs unreleased?  Is there a way to query off of this status?

Good Morning and thank you for the response.  We do use fix Versions to identify releases.  How would I pull this status of released vs unreleased into my filter in my dashboard?

Hi @Kelly Carlson and welcome to the Community!

The answer to your questions relates entirely to how you define released issues.

Jira has an advanced JQL function that lets you identify these issues like this:

fixVersion in releasedVersions(ABC)

ABC in that JQL represents the Jira project your issues are in. And it does require that you do actively use releases (fix versions) in your project. That means:

* that you define releases in your project;
* associate all issues to a release;
* explicitly hit release on each version that is actually release.

Hope this helps!
