We're updating our terminology in Jira

'Issue' is changing to 'work item'. You might notice some inconsistencies while this big change takes place.

Show or hide issues on your board with quick filters

As your work grows, use filters to show or hide work items based on certain criteria. These filters only become available in both company-managed and team-managed projects once they apply to at least one work item in your board. For example, the Label filter only shows if at least one work item in your project has a label.

Enabling a filter won’t remove work items from your board, but rather, allows you to focus on those you want to see.

In team-managed and company-managed projects, the default filters available are:

  • The Assignee filter, which shows work items that are assigned to specific people in your project. To filter by assignee, select the person's avatar in the filter bar. You can select more than one person if you need.

  • The Epic filter, which shows work items that belong to specific epics in your project. This filter appears after you've created your first epic in the project. Learn more about epics

  • The Label filter, which shows work items that have been tagged with specific labels in your project. This filter appears after you've added a label to at least one work item in your project.

  • The Type filter, which shows work items based on their work type (for example, Bug or Task work items). This filter appears after you've created more than one type of work item in your project.

The following quick filters only appear in company-managed projects:

  • The Only My issues filter, which shows issues that are assigned to the user whose currently logged in

  • The Recently Updated filter, which shows you issues that were last worked on in your board
