How to hide statuses on board for better review in JIRA Workmanagement?

[Jan Šimek]

Hi I would like to know, how to hide statuses, where there are no issues assigned to them currently, so that the board will be much clear and you do not need to move the line too long? 

Also I am stating, that we cannot delete any statuses, because they all mean some stage of process, but we want to just see statuses where are actually assigned issues.

I have tried to use the Filter on the right side, but there is nothing.

Can you please help?

Thank you

Hi @Jan Šimek 

You cannot hide columns from your kanban board conditionally, for example when there are no issues in that particular status.

Why not make a filter instead, sort it by status and add it to the issue filter gadget on a dashboard?

I have just finished it and it works awesome. I have also used Rich filter addon, which works perfectly.

Thanks
