How do I filter the backlog to show only todo items?

[Rony Armon]

I wish to see in the backlog only the tasks that are in TO DO status. Can I add a filter to exclude the other items?

On top of Gustavo's reply, just wondering, backlog shows all the future sprints and the stories in backlog, and in both cases, stories are in the backlog / To Do state only. What is the need to have the filter?

Hi Rony,

Under board settings>quick filters you can add a JQL to filter issues

Thanks Maia, I searched and can't find how to access these settings, can you help?
