Hi,

 

we would like to set up for each user of our JIRA, an pre created kanban board with all their issues were they are assigned/ linked to. How can we set up that?

I added an image from our sketch.

I would create the following filter using the currentuser()...

assignee = currentuser()

now if you also want to include issue they might be watching...

assignee = currentuser() OR watcher = currentuser

and if you don't want the resolved then...

(assignee = currentuser() OR watcher = currentuser) AND resolution is EMPTY

note: if your workflow does not enforce resolution code then the above will not produce desired results.

 

build on these to achieve your precise requirements

You should be able to do this with a simple JQL query on the board, e.g. "Project IN ("A", "B", "C"), which will show all tasks in the 3 projects.  Then users can use the Quick Filter on the board to select "Assigned to Me".

Thanks Pete, is there an JQL code where we doesnt have to write down all of the projects of the person assigned to him?

If I understood you correct, each person has to create his own board and edit with JQL the projects and than select the quick filter, am I right?
We would like to pre install something like an dashboard overview in form of a kanban board for all users.

I'm not sure what you want to achieve... 

You could create a standard dashboard, with the "Assigned to me" gadget.  This would allow all users to see their issues.  However it will not be a Kanban board.

If you want to use Kanban, you will need a JQL query to select the issues you want.  If you don't want to specify projects, then you could use a simple query like "assignee = currentUser()".  This would show all issues across all projects for the user looking at the board.

However - You will need to ensure the workflow statuses for each project correctly map to the board columns.
