Filter issues in your list
We are releasing this feature slowly so you may not be able to use it just yet.
Unless otherwise noted, the list in software projects is the same for both company-managed and team-managed projects.
You can filter issues in your list. Filtering helps you focus on specific details in your projects to find important information without having to scroll through your entire team's work. You can check high-priority tasks to see that nothing is blocked or see individual team members' workloads at a glance.
All users can use the filter in these views.
Your filter will only be visible to you.
Filter issues in your list
Filter the issues you’re searching for by selecting Filter drop-down at the top-right of the list view. You can either apply quick filters or other filters but not both at once.
Apply quick filters
You can apply one or more of the following quick filters:
Assigned to me
Due this week
Done issues
You can also create your own quick filters which allow you to save, reuse and access them later with just one click. Saving your filters will let you see the most important information first. You can also view saved filters created by your teammates.
Apply other filters
You can also apply the following filters to view specific issues:
Assignee: You can filter issues by selecting the avatar or by searching the name of the assignees. You can select Unassigned to view issues that don’t have an assignee
Parent: You can filter issues based on it’s respective parent item.
Issue type: You can filter issues based on their issue type. For example, you may only want to filter by subtask. You can filter your issues based on whether they are tasks or subtasks.
Labels: You can filter issues by selecting a label added to your project. You can select No label to view issues that don’t have a label assigned
Priority: You can filter issues based on priority such as blocked, highest, high, medium, low, and lowest
Reporter: You can filter issues by selecting the avatar or searching the name of the reporter
Sprint: You can filter issues based on current sprints. You can select Backlog to view issues that aren’t in a specific sprint.
Story points: You can filter issues based on how many story points have been estimated for an item. You can select None to view issues that have no story points.
Status: You can filter issues based on status, for example, to do, in progress and done
Team: You can filter issues based on which team is assigned.
Clear filters
To clear your filters:
Select Filter from the top right of your screen.
Select Clear in the top right of the drop-down.
You can also select ( x ) next to the fields to clear the applied filter.
When cleared, the list reverts to the default view, showing all issues.
Filter by assignee using avatars
To see the issues assigned to a particular team member, select their avatar at the top left of your preferred view and you will see all the issues filtered by that assignee.
Child issues when a filter is applied
When filtering issues you’ll still see both parent issues and subtasks if they match your filter. However, child issues will not be nested under their parent.
Filter by custom fields
You can filter by the following types of custom fields in the list view of your project:
Single select
Multi-select
Multi-checkboxes
User picker (company-managed projects only)
People field (team-managed projects only)
Custom date
