How to see the Icon Unassigned along the people's icons on my board

Priscille Lesne January 14, 2025

I am creating a new company-managed project (Kaban). when i look at my board, i want to be able to quickly filter by assignees (easy with the icons), and also filter all the issues that are unassigned. I don't have the icon for Unassigned. How can I add it?

I have this icon in my team-managed project:

Hi @Priscille Lesne 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Click on 3 dots on top right side corner and then go to Configure Board

Then click on Quick Filter --> Create quick filter

Under Name field type "Unassigned" and in JQL Query field type " assignee is Empty" and save it.

This configuration will add a Unassigned filter on your board which will show issues where assignee is unassigned.

Hi Ashish, 

I have a different view from you. May be because i am using a company-managed business project?

Hi @Priscille Lesne 

Welcome to the community.

On the icon you see +4 option, unassigned is under there, select the +4 and then the icon in grey with the user logo on it.

There is no need for quick filters.

The number of icons visible is limited and if more then a certain number of people onthe project, the unassigned can move under the + option

Hi @Marc - Devoteam thank you. 
The icon with the +4 comes from the project where i have the option to select the Unassigned. And yes, that's how i select the unassigned issues. 
In the first screen shot I posted, I don't have the option to select Unassigned the same way as I do in the second screen shot.

Hi @Priscille Lesne 

As this is a company managed board, you can use the filter option and then press the 3 dots and select Unassigned

Thank you. I think it's my only option. I wanted to have it next to the icons of my users for a quick access. That'll do.
