Set board filters
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Content filters on a board
Together, board filters and container labels determine what is displayed on a board on a published page
board filters define the subset of pages available to a board
container labels define which of those filtered pages appear in a board container
Board filters
The board editor allows you to select Filters to set the board filters.
Pages are filtered by
Labels
pages with all matching labels (AND condition) appear on the board
Space
pages in this space only appear on the board
Parent
the parent page; all child pages appear on the board
Container filters
Labels can be set to act as filters for each container.
The board containers contain page cards that are filtered by the board container labels for the child pages of the Game Development page.
The board containers contain the filter to show only content with the ios label.
A board can be created to display both ios and android content.
The android pages are appended in this example with the label ados.
The child pages of the Game Development page are displayed on the board in separate rows for each label.
Example
Let's say you have multiple projects and you want an overview page to track the status of each project.
The projects are structured as a project overview parent page with individual project pages.
On each project page, a MoSCow board has been added for the individual project.
When initially creating these individual project boards, ensure you add a label to each board container that is unique to the project.
Any cards and card pages created are appended with both the container name label and this project label.
The second project page also uses a MoSCoW board.
The project pages include those created from the creation of board cards.
Recruitment Project card pages created will be appended with the container name label and the project label
recruitWellness Project card pages created will be appended with the container name label and the added project label
well
On the project overview page, create multiple boards.
These can be Tasks Blueprint or Kanban-style boards that reflect the progress of each project.
The content on the overview boards is set in the board editor Filter tab
the Parent filter parameter on each overview-page board to the corresponding parent page name
the added project label
To create a different overview board for the individual project pages, the container labels must be edited to be the same as the corresponding container labels from the individual project board.
only card pages are displayed
each project team can add cards for discussion to the individual project board
Converting these page to card pages displays these in the overview page board.
The overview board can be
a single overview board for both projects
a different type of board
The board can also be edited to only display chosen containers.
Moving cards to different containers on an overview board moves the card to the individual project board. The card labels and the linked Confluence page labels change to those of the destination container.
You cannot move cards between boards, even if there are two boards on the same page.
