Is it possible to search tasks shown on Kanban board?

Jaro Satkevic1

We have a lot of tasks on our Kanban board and would like to have possibility to filter only stories with some search query. Is it possible?

Here I'm talking not about quick-filter (which is predefine and could be changet only in configurations), but I need somethink like search box. It will be used by unautorized users, we will shouw our kanban board for them (read only) and would like to allow users to search/filter tasks visible on kanban board.

Hi Jaro,

This is seems not possible. The reason is because un-authorized users are not allowed to create/modify any board configuration. You (or the admin) will need to define the related quick filter in advance.

No, quick filters are defined in configuration, I need somethink like search box for unauthorized users to use. We show our kanban board publicly (read only) and would like to let users to search/filter on board only selected tasks.

This would be very helpful to have a quick search like it is available on the backlog in the scrum mode

Totally Agree!!!

@Jaro Satkevic1, if you are on server you may want to look at Jira Agile Board Filters plugin. - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/io.extensi.jira.plugin.agileboardfilter/server/overview

One workaround is to add the board's filter to your favorite filter list. You then have it available on the left in the side bar. Once you click on it you will get a search field: "Contains text". The results are displayed as a list and not on your board though.

Is this a cloud-only feature?

Disappointed again on Atlassian's product strategy ... :-(

I appreciate the suggestion '@Jack Brickey ' but quite disappointed as this doesn't make sense at slightest!

I don't think large companies can justify paying $3.5K+ to add a simple plug-in that's been baked into JIRA Cloud for ages. It's just heartbreaking to see $3.5K worth textbox in JIRA Server's backlog view but not in its board view...

The main problem with JIRA add-ons is you can almost never convince your company to pay for an add-on. Although just a bunch of users will benefit from the add-on, you pay licence fee based on your entire users. Just mind-blowing.

Hi @Alp Erguney ,

I'm the Agile Tools & Filters product manager. Thanks for your feedback.

Just to make clear the app is a set of over 20 complex Agile tools and the search box you are mentioning is only a small feature. I'd say 1% of the app. So I encourage you to have a look at the rest of the features.

The payment model is fixed and that won't change.

Regarding the justification.

In this case you're looking at 2k user tier, so it's 1,75$ per user lifetime and 0,87$ later on if you decide to upgrade your jira or the app itself. A company that size spends 3,5k for one or two laptops and costs like this are not noticeable.

I'll justify it in a very simple example.

Let's say out of the 2k employees 100 of them uses Jira for around 2h daily.

If an app reduces the "job to be done" time by lets say 5% that will give the company 6 minutes per employee. Multiply by 100 employees = 6h daily saved. If the cost of man-hour rate is about 400$ a day, 300$ will be saved daily. That will be 6000 $ saved monthly. That is 72000 a year and the app is just 3,5k $.

What if the time savings go up to 10-20%, and the number of users will go to 500 or 1000? What savings could be made?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Best Regards

Przemysław

Hi Przemysław,

The issue isn’t the plugin, I’m sure it’s lovely.

The issue is that the feature is already in Jira, it just needs to be added to the Kanban active view. But instead Atlassian asks us to shell out for plugins.
