Quick Filters in Jira (using real-world example)
Quick Filters in Jira are custom filters you can create to help narrow down the issues displayed on a board (typically a Scrum or Kanban board). They allow team members to quickly find specific tasks or issues based on criteria like assignee, status, priority, or custom JQL (Jira Query Language) queries. Quick Filters are particularly useful in managing large backlogs or boards by providing dynamic ways to focus on different segments of work.
How to Create Quick Filters in Jira:
Navigate to Your Board: Open the board where you want to create Quick Filters (Scrum or Kanban board).
Board Settings: Click on the three-dot menu (•••) in the upper right corner of the board and select "Board settings."
Quick Filters Tab: In the Board settings, go to the "Quick Filters" tab.
Add a New Filter:
Click the "Add Quick Filter" button.
Give the filter a name (this will appear as a button on the board).
Add a JQL query in the filter query field (e.g., assignee = currentUser() to show tasks assigned to the current user).
Save: Click "Add" to save your Quick Filter.
Common Quick Filters:
My Issues: assignee = currentUser()
In Progress: status = "In Progress"
High Priority: priority = High
Bugs: issuetype = Bug
Once created, these Quick Filters will appear as buttons at the top of your board, allowing you to toggle them on or off to adjust the view of your issues.
Quick Filters are crucial to set up as it helps to identify key Jira tickets when you need them quickly!
