One project multiple boards issues

[Tracey Salvodon]

I have one project and need to create two boards that have very different information, however all the tasks I have created on one board (Data Providers) is showing up on the other boards assigned to that same project. I know there has to be a way to separate the two. Can you help please?

Can you define "very different information?" You may or may not be able to do what you want.

The boards are for two very different branches of the same Project. The information that is provided on the boards are separate from each other however they still have to do with the project. I have Data Provider board and a AWS board both have to do with the Parent TTCO however are different in tasks.

Like @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- said, you probably want to use filters for each board to only contain the issues want to see.

Hi Tracey 

welcome to the Atlassian community

One thing that comes to my mind is to have more specific filters for your different boards, the documentation on how to configure these filters can be found at

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/configure-filters/#:~:text=Your%20board's%20filter%20is%20an,particular%20component%20of%20a%20project.

Is there anything that distinguishes the issues that should be shown on one board vs. the ones for the other board?

Cheers

Hi Tracey, it all comes down to the board filter that defines the board. A board is basically a high powered visual display of a database query. So as an example lets say you wanted to display all issues in a project with the Component field = "board 1" on Board 1 and similarly you wanted all issues with the Component field = "board 2" on Board 2 then the filters would simply look like this...

Board 1 --> project = myproject and components = "board 1"

Board 2 --> project = myproject and components = "board 2"

of course this is just a silly example but hopefully it gets the point across. If you can share more info on you precise goals I'm sure we can assist further.

You don't create issues on boards, they are not containers, they are a view of a selection of issues (in projects - those are issue containers)

The reason you see the same issue in two boards is that the filters for each board selects for that issue.

If you want two boards to select different issues, you'll need to change the filters that are selecting the issues, and give the issues data to differentiate them.  My guess is that at the moment, both of your boards are essentially saying "project = x", so they're getting all issues in project x.
