How to Create a Query in Jira

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to build and save a JQL query in Jira.

Quick summary

Creating a query in Jira lets you use JQL (Jira Query Language) to filter and find issues based on custom conditions. Once saved as a filter, your query can be reused anytime to efficiently manage and track project issues.


Steps

  1. Navigate to your desired Jira project and click on it.
  2. Click on the Issues option in the left-side menu.
  3. Switch to JQL mode to write more complex, custom queries using Jira Query Language directly.
  4. Start typing your JQL query in the input field.
  5. Click Save filter to save your query.
  6. Give your filter a name and description, then click Save.
  7. Your Jira query is now saved — use it anytime to find and manage issues efficiently.

📌 Why this matters

Jira's built-in query builder and JQL (Jira Query Language) give teams a powerful way to search, filter, and manage issues across projects with precision. Saving custom filters means teams can instantly surface the exact issues they need — by assignee, status, sprint, or any combination of fields — without manual searching every time. For project managers and developers alike, reusable JQL filters reduce time spent navigating boards and improve visibility into workload, blockers, and progress. Mastering Jira queries is one of the highest-leverage skills for any team running agile or software development workflows.
