How to use quick filters in Plans?

[vv]

Apparently we can use quick filters in Plans but I couldn't figure out how to? Can anyone give me the instructions?

@vv , 

You can only use the Quick Filters you've linked to in the Timeline functionality that is part of a board. 

To filter in a Plan, you will need to use the regular 'Filters' option. Once you have filtered the desired information, you can save the View so you can come back to it later (sort of like a Quick Filter):

ahh thanks for the quick and detailed response! my customer requires using JQL in quick filter in the Plan view but seems this is not available..

That's indeed a limitation :) You could use the 'Give feedback' option in the upper right corner of a Plan to provide this information back to Atlassian.

However, I can imagine implementation is difficult as the JQL within a Plan will likely cause inconsistencies/wrong expectations... As you're applying the JQL within a Plan so you cannot state 'project = XYZ' as JQL if that project is not in the Plan issue sources. 

So, the GUI-approach by selecting values based on what's actually available in the plan is much less likely to cause interpretation issues.
