Kanban board Filter

[Maria Elena Carbonari]

Hello, 

just a quick context: I've inherited a Kanban board from my collegue who changed position. The owner board is still my colleague, but I'm the Admin. 

I modify name etc, because the scope has changed, but as I'm not the owner, I cannot modify the Filter in the section Configuration --> General and Filter --> Filter Query

so we create some labels that are not shown on the kanban board.

is there a way to create a new filter?

thanks in advance

Hi Maria, and welcome to the community.

The Kanban board and filter it is based on exist seperately from each other. 

There are a couple of options to adjust the filter:

• If your collegue is still available they can give you editing permissions on the filter. This would allow you to keep using the same filter. (but do check whether it is used for anything else first)
• You can create a copy of the existing filter and adjust it as needed. If you have the permissions to choose which filter is used for the Board you can then adjust that yourself. If not, you will have to ask a jira administrator to make that change.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Els Bassant

thanks for the suggestions! To be honest, I would prefer not to involve the collegue, as she's very busy with her new role. 

I can choose which filter to use, but I don't know how to copy the filter, but I'll check :)

Anyway, maybe the best thing would be If they can make me owner of the board.

thanks again and regards

You can go to filters > find the filter you need > copy the filter from there

OR

In the board settings scroll down a little bit to see the filter query. You can copy that and use it to create a new filter(and adjust it where needed). Then in the board settings, choose this new filter for your board. 

Make sure you share your filter with everyone who needs to see the board, otherwise they will get an error message.

Hi @Maria Elena Carbonari ,

Is there a "Saved Filter" selected in the "General and filter" section. The "Filter query" field reflects the value of that saved filter.

If you click "Edit filter query" you should be able to change the filter.

Best regards,

Kris

HI @Kris Dewachter , 

unfortunately as I'm the admin but not the board owner, I don't see the Edit Filter query. This is something that just board's owner can do

thanks again and regards

@Maria Elena Carbonari, You can ask the jira-administrator to change the ownership of the saved filter that is used on the board.

Settings --> System --> Shared Items --> Filters
