Quick filters

Filter data using previously created JQL filters in program configuration.

Show full scope

Load tasks from lower-level Boxes/hide tasks in lower level Boxes:

• When the filter button is pressed (dark grey background, white icon), only tasks planned on the level you currently see are visible. Tasks planned for lower-level Boxes are hidden.

• All tasks are shown when the filter button is not pressed (light grey background, dark icon). 

The button doesn't affect the backlog on the right because the backlog has its own separate show/hide lower-level tasks button.

Show tasks with dependencies

Hide tasks that don't have any dependencies:

• When the filter button is pressed (dark grey background, white icon), only tasks that have dependencies are visible. Tasks without dependencies are hidden.

• All tasks are shown when the filter button is not pressed (light grey background, dark icon). 

The button doesn't affect the backlog on the right - only task cards on the left are affected.

Search box

Quick search your tasks using:

• Task summary search

• JQL search 

Timebox info

Additional information about the selected Timebox, which includes the Timebox ID.

Full-screen mode

Right-click on a task and select Back to backlog to move a task to the backlog.

Create a task-based objective

You can create a task-based objective directly in the Board module. Right-click on a task (Jira issue/basic task) and select Create objective based on this task.

A new objective is immediately visible in the Objectives module.

Live sync

Update task data without refreshing the page. The live sync mode is recommended for distributed teams.

Undo button

Undo the last action. 

Important: Only a single action can be undone.

The Undo button is grayed out by default. It becomes available when the user performs an operation that can be undone. Performing an undo operation OR reloading the page makes the Undo button grayed out again.
