Show epics only on roadmap

[Leandro Santos]

On my saved board filter, i have all types os tasks indexed.
But I need to see the epics only into the roadmap, and all of them are into the board's backlog too.
What can I do to see the epics only into the roadmap?

Hello @Leandro Santos 

Are you working with a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project?

Are you working with a Scrum board or a Kanban board?

Your roadmap will be based on the issues included in the filter for the board. So, you don't want to update the board filter to remove Epics else they will also not be available for your roadmap.

Depending on the type of project and board there may be ways for you to "hide" the Epics from view. When you provide answers to the above questions we'll be able to provide more specific guidance.

First of all, thanks for asking!

Is a Team Managed project and a kanban board.

How are the Epics displaying in the board backlog?

Typically with the Kanban board that comes with a Team Managed project, the Epics can be shown in an Epics panel by clicking the Epics drop down and selecting the last item. That panel can be hidden by toggling that same item off.

I don't believe there is a way to disable the Epic pull-down entirely, so turning off the Epic panel would be the most you could do. It could be turned on again at any time.

I can't see this dropdown menu into my board.

The image you posted suggests that you are working with a manually created board from a Saved Filter rather than the board that was created automatically for your Team Managed project. Is that true?

Can you provide a screen image that shows the entire navigation pane for this board?

Hello @Leandro Santos 

I was unclear. I meant the navigation pane that display to the left of the issue list. That is the area that shows the project name and gives you shortcuts to bring up the Board, Backlog, Reports, etc.

In your image it appears to be collapsed.

Does it say "team managed" at the bottom of the navigation pane on the left?

The image you are pasting seems to me to not be the same as the native board for a Team Managed project.

Here is an image from the native Kanban board for a Team Managed project. Notice:

- the upper section of the list says "Board", not the value of a Status, and that section has shading around it

- there is a pull down for filtering by Epic

- there is no pull down in the navigation pane to select a different board, because only one board can be associated directly with a Team Managed project.

The image you posted suggests that you are working with a manually created board from a Saved Filter or you are working with a Company Managed project.

Going with the assumption that this board is one of the above, then you can add a Quick Filter that you can toggle on/off to hide/reveal the Epics in the Backlog.

Example:

project="Squad-03" and issuetype != Epic

Activating that quick filter would hide the Epic issues from display, but they would remain in the roadmap.

Another option would be to turn on the Epic Panel. Then the Epics would display in a panel to the left (like Versions) rather than in the issue lists Backlog and Kickoff.
