Quick summary

- In the left-hand menu of the Board settings, click Create quick filter.
- Enter a filter name that will appear as a label on the board.
- Enter the JQL (Jira Query Language) statement that defines which issues are displayed when the filter is active.
- Add an optional description to explain what the filter does.
- Click Create to save the quick filter.
- A confirmation notification appears and your new filter is added to the list of available Quick Filters on the board.
