Use this interactive demo to learn how to customize your Jira board's filter query in minutes.

Quick summary

Editing the filter query on a Jira board lets teams control which issues appear in their board view by adjusting Board Settings. This step-by-step process takes just minutes and requires no advanced Jira admin permissions.


Steps

  1. In the board view of your Jira space, go to the top navigation bar and click the More Options button next to the board name.
  2. Choose Board Settings from the list of options.
  3. Go to the Board Filter section and click Edit Filter Query to proceed.
  4. Add or remove filters based on your preference by tapping the field menu and selecting or unselecting an option.
  5. Click Save Filter once you have finished making changes.
  6. Choose Save Changes to apply your modifications.
  7. Your Jira board filter query will be updated according to your input.

📌 Why this matters

Customizing the filter query on a Jira board gives teams precise control over which issues are surfaced in their project view, reducing noise and keeping sprints focused. This feature is essential for project managers who need to tailor board visibility by assignee, issue type, status, or any JQL-supported field. Getting the board filter right means faster stand-ups, cleaner workflows, and more accurate sprint reporting. Teams that master Jira board filter queries spend less time hunting for relevant issues and more time shipping.
