How make adjustmets to my Swimlanes?

[Youmna Alomari]

Currently, the swimlane for This Month shows tickets that have a due date in future months. 

Can I adjust the JQL for the Future swimlane to hold the tickets that are beyond the next month + duedate empty?

Thank you!

Hello @Youmna Alomari 

Can I adjust the JQL for the Future swimlane to hold the tickets that are beyond the next month + duedate empty?

The JQL to satisfy that requirement would be:

duedate is empty or duedate >= startOfMonth(+2)

If the current month is June then startOfMonth() = June 1

If the current month is June then startOfMonth(+1) = July 1

If the current month is June then startOfMonth(+2) = August 1

Hello @Youmna Alomari 

I just want to add my opinion about your existing swimlanes:

• this week: duedate <= endofweek(): This will take all tickets due in the past, including last week. it shoul be duedate >= startofweek() and duedate <= endofweek()
• this month: duedate >= endofweek(+1): This will take all tickets due from June 23rd, 2026 onwards. It doesn't make sense. It shoul be duedate >= startofmonth() and duedate <= endofmonth()
• next week: duedate <= endofweek(+1): This will take all tickets due in the past, including this week. it shoul be : duedate >= startofweek(+1) and duedate <= endofweek(+1)

Thank you @Duc Thang TRAN !

This was set up by a former employee. I'm learning here!

In that case,  tickets that were completed will move to the Done column. Thank you!

So, if I change my swimlane settings to what you have provided, will the tickets that were not completed in that specific week move to the Backlog column?

Also, if I wanted to add Next Month swimlane, would that be like:  duedate >= startofmonth(+1) and duedate <= endofmonth(+1) ??

Hello @Youmna Alomari 

it correcte your jql for next month , and for  all issues that don't meet your JQL due date, you will find them in the "Everything else" lane.

and for your last question :
A swimlane is a horizontal categorization of issues, not for completed or uncompleted issues. Here a exemple 

If you don't see few completed issue ,your need control  your configuration of the board to show completed issues.

@Duc Thang TRAN Thank you for the clarification!
