How can I have my rapidboard automatically focus to current user?

[Nicholas DiPiazza]

We do our sprints using the "Rapid board" feature

Links look like this:

https://jira.xxxxx.com/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=83&quickFilter=300

This link gets me to my team's board.

But How do I get a link that will focus to me (current user)?

Right now I have to scroll through a dozen users to get to me and it's annoying.

I would recommend creating a quick filter on the board.

Select "Board" at top right/ configure/ quick filters/ add
JQl should be "assignee = currentUser()"

Enjoy

No permission to do such a thing. I'm left with the default filters. 

[Nicholas DiPiazza]

er... the filters that are provided by the jira admins

[Nicholas DiPiazza]

OK they added it for me (i'm shocked) but now it aint showing everyone else's tickets anymore. just mine. 

i just wanted it to focus to me.

ha :)
When you select the current user quick filter, it will ONLY show the currently logged user (you).
Un-select the filter to see everyone's issues.

A couple more options:

1. Go to Issues/ Search for Issues. Enter "assignee = currentUser()" in the JQL bar. 
2. Create a dashboard with a gadget to display current user issues and another to display everyone else.

Just wanted a way to say "show me" in the board, without filtering stuff.

sounds like not supported.
