Use this interactive demo to learn how to filter work items by labels in Jira.

Quick summary

Searching by labels in Jira lets teams quickly filter work items by category using the built-in Search Work Items tool. This guide shows the exact steps to apply a label filter and surface targeted results in seconds.


Steps

  1. In your Jira space, go to the left-side panel and click 'Filters'.
  2. Choose 'Search Work Items' to proceed to the search view.
  3. Go to the top menu bar and click 'More Filters'.
  4. Find 'Labels' from the list and tick the checkbox beside it to enable the label filter.
  5. Tick the checkbox beside the specific label containing the tickets you want to search.
  6. View the search results generated based on your selected Jira label.

📌 Why this matters

Searching by labels in Jira gives teams a fast, precise way to group and surface related work items across projects without writing complex queries. Label-based filtering is essential for project managers and developers who need to track work by theme, sprint goal, or team ownership at a glance. Jira's built-in label filter reduces time spent manually scanning boards and helps teams stay aligned on priorities. This capability makes Jira a powerful project management tool for teams that rely on consistent tagging to manage large backlogs efficiently.
