Team member work in one board

[Chamil Kulasekera]

Hi currently we have multiple projects/initiatives in Jira that our team members are doing (assigned to) across several internal teams. All these projects/initiatives are there in Jira and I can pull all the user stories/issues assigned to the team members into one place by getting all the project boards into a one kanban board. But when I select to show the issues by assignee from swimlanes in the consolidated board it is pulling non-team member issues (as they are all part of different projects) and showing them together. Is there a way to only pick and select particular team members in the consolidated board or to remove unwanted assignees? I tried the quick filters (with selected team members) but when I click on the defined quick filter nothing happens either. Appreciate a solution for this requirement.

Hello @Chamil Kulasekera 

Welcome to the community.

Let me see if I understand your problem correctly.

You have a group of team members; TM1, TM2, TM3, TM4.

These team members work on issues in multiple projects.

You have other people (OP5, OP6, OP7) who also get assigned to issues in the same projects.

You want a board that shows all the issues assigned only to TM1, TM2, TM3, and TM4 across all the projects. You don't want to see unassigned issues or issues assigned to OP5, OP6, or OP7 in that board.

Does that sum it up correctly?

If so, then you would want to add this criteria to your board filter:

assignee in (TM1, TM2, TM3, TM4)

That will limit the board to showing only the issues assigned to the specified users, where the issues also meet the other criteria of the filter.

Hi Trudy,

Thanks for this, yes this is what I have been looking for. Along with assignee in (TM1, TM2, TM3, TM4), how do I add unassigned issues?

(assignee in (TM1, TM2, TM3) OR assignee is empty)

Thank you Trudy

Hi @Chamil Kulasekera 

If you add 

and assignee is not EMPTY

to the filter that you're using for the "all in one" board, then only issues which are assigned will show on that board to begin with. Does this resolve your issue? Or is the issue more about how you're filtering and showing individual team members' items?

Hi Warren,

Basically wanted to filter issues and unassigned issues from all boards by our team members and see how they are moving from To do to In Progress to Done. Currently I'm using a filter to filter out only the team members.
