You will typically create the Extended search filter for the board and reuse it for in the box.
The process of creating the filter from scratch looks like this:
Create a filter in Extended search
Wait for BigPicture to sync the filters list (see the note below)
Use the filter in BigPicture’s box configuration: Task → Scope Definition → Automatic Rules
...
You can use JQL Search Extensions aliases and filters in your BigPicture quick filters.
Create a quick filter that uses the JQL extensions:
...
Use the quick filter thath that highlights the matching issues:
...
In the box view, click on the search loupe icon 🔍
Make sure the search is in the JQL mode - click on the ABC on the left to change the mode to JQL
Enter your JQL query
TIP: In JQL, You can refer to filters with filter="Your filter name".
...
If you have a list of specific epic keys that should be in scope, create the following Extended search filter and use it as a scope:
...
The above query could be limited to one project but or it can also source the issues from multiple projects.
...
If your initiatives are link based, go with the linkedIssuesOfQuery function and a nested filter:
Create an Extended search filter:
key in (INT-2, INT-5, INT-8) OR issue in linkedIssuesOfQuery("key in (INT-2, INT-5, INT-8)", "your initiative link name")
and call it “My initiatives and epics”Create another filter that is nesting a filter created in step 1:
filter="My initiatives and epics" OR issue in childrenOfIssuesInQueryRecursive("filter='My initiatives and epics'")
This filter matches:the selected initiatives and the linked issues (epics)
all levels of children of the linked epics
Use the filter as your scope in the box configuration
...
If you only want to include the issues linked with the particular link type, you can create an Extended searchfilter:
project=MYPROJ OR issue in linkedIssuesOfQuery("project=MYPROJ", "is blocked by")
You can also get a full hierarchy of the linked issues by creating a nested filter:
Create an Extended search filter:
issue in linkedIssuesOfQuery("project=MYPROJ", "is blocked by")
and call it “Blockers”Create another filter that nests the first filter:
project=MYPROJ OR filter="Blockers" OR issue in childrenOfIssuesInQueryRecursive("filter='Blockers'")Use the filter as your scope in the box configuration
...
Create a quick filter with JQL:
linksCount>2
You can see only the tasks that have a specific number of links. In this example, all the tasks with more than 2 links are going to be highlighted.
...
You can now see all the finished epics that still have with tasks that need to be looked at.
