How do I use a Board within a Project?

Scott Porter_9kb74z

Hi - New to Jira and trying to sort out best way to organize a project. We have one (1) PROJECT with a single backlog.  We have teams working on different parts of the application within a single sprint, and I was thinking setting up a Board for each team would be a way to help organize the work.  

Q1: When I create a new Board, it appears with the same Project backlog.  Every board looks the same. How do I put specific tasks on that Board? 

Q2: When I look at an issue detail and click "View on Board", all of the boards are listed.  How do I change this so this issue is only on one board?

Thanks for any assistance.  Seems like I'm missing something obvious!

Boards are not containers for issues, they are a view of them.  Each board is driven by a filter that searches for issues to be included.

So, the answer is "change the searches".  They're defined in the general settings for a board.

My guess is that you have a field for either Team or Part that you are adding to issues to identify which team it should be with.  Or issue type, or something.  You can use that in your board filters.

So, assuming team, you have

Team Board 1 :  Project = X and Team = 1

Team Board 2 : Project = X and Team  = 2

and so-on.
