Configuring Quick Filters

Quick Filters allow you (or anyone else using this board) to further filter the collection of issues appearing in Work mode or Plan mode. By default, a board contains two Quick Filters, called 'Only My Issues' and 'Recently Updated':

Default Quick Filter	Default JQL	Notes
Only My Issues	assignee = currentUser()	Displays issues assigned to the person who is currently viewing this board.
Recently Updated	updatedDate >= -1d	Displays issues that have been updated in the last 24 hours.

 

You can create additional quick filters if you wish; see examples below.

Any additional Quick Filters that you create they will appear as buttons next to the 'Only My Issues' and 'Recently Updated' buttons on the board (see Using a Board).

Note that only the owner of a board (or a person with the 'JIRA Administrators' global permission) can configure a board's Quick Filters.

Some example JQL you might wish to use for your Quick Filters:

• Show all issues which are assigned to members of the "bugfix" group:

  assignee in membersOf("bugfix")

•  Show all issues of type 'Bug':

  type = "Bug"
