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:
