About quick filters
Thanks to quick filters, you can narrow down the data you display with predefined JQL (Jira Query Language) statements. This feature provides great flexibility as you can focus exactly on what you need at the moment. For example, you take a closer look at any resource and their workload or only display the tasks assigned to a particular team, version, Epic, or Milestone to get a high-level overview of what's going on.
Quick filters are displayed in the header just below the links in the following modules:
Configuration
To learn more about configuring Quick filters, see the Quick filters (Box types) page.
Apply Quick filters
You can apply filters by checking a box next to a filter name. After activating the filter, you'll see an orange dot next to the button. You can select multiple filters and use the And and Or operators to combine your queries and create advanced search strings. Click the checkbox to switch the filter on.
Filters are applied
Per user: Only your view is changed. Other users are not affected.
Per module: When you activate a filter, it applies only to the module you are currently in.
If needed, you can apply a current filter to all modules. This overrides any filters have were active in other modules.
