As your project grows, you’ll need ways to find specific issues quickly. The filter bar provides powerful search, filtering, and sorting capabilities to help you focus on what matters.

​
The Filter Bar

The filter bar sits above your kanban board and contains:
  • Search field - Find issues by text
  • Filter dropdowns - Filter by priority, assignee, tags
  • Sort dropdown - Change how issues are ordered
  • Clear All button - Reset all filters

​
Searching

Type in the search field to find issues by title.

​
How Search Works

  • Search matches against issue titles only
  • Search is case-insensitive (“Login” matches “login”)
  • Search finds partial matches (“log” matches “Login flow”)
  • Results update as you type
  • Search for keywords in titles
  • Use the Simple ID to find a specific issue (e.g., “TASK-123”)
  • Combine search with filters for precise results
If you can’t find an issue, check that your filters aren’t hiding it. Click Clear All to reset filters and search again.

​
Filtering

Filters let you show only issues that match certain criteria.

​
Priority Filter

Filter issues by priority level:
Priority filter dropdown showing Urgent, High, Medium, and Low options
PriorityColourDescription
UrgentRedNeeds immediate attention
HighOrangeImportant, do soon
MediumYellowNormal priority
LowGreyCan wait
To filter by priority:
  1. Click the Priority dropdown
  2. Select one or more priority levels
  3. Only matching issues are shown

​
Assignee Filter

Filter issues by who’s assigned:
Assignee filter dropdown showing team members
Options:
  • Specific team members - Show issues assigned to selected people
  • Unassigned - Show issues with no assignee
To filter by assignee:
  1. Click the Assignee dropdown
  2. Select one or more team members, or “Unassigned”
  3. Only matching issues are shown
If you select multiple assignees, issues assigned to any of them will show (OR logic). An issue assigned to both Alice and Bob shows when filtering for either.

​
Tags Filter

Filter issues by tags:
Tags filter dropdown showing available tags
To filter by tags:
  1. Click the Tags dropdown
  2. Select one or more tags
  3. Only issues with at least one selected tag are shown

​
Combining Filters

You can use multiple filters at once. When you do:
  • Filters within the same category use OR logic
    • Priority: Urgent OR High → shows both
  • Filters across categories use AND logic
    • Priority: Urgent AND Assignee: Alice → shows urgent issues assigned to Alice
Example: To find high-priority bugs assigned to you:
  1. Set Priority to “High” and “Urgent”
  2. Set Assignee to yourself
  3. Set Tags to “Bug”

​
Sorting

Control the order of issues within each column.
Sort dropdown showing Manual, Priority, Created, Updated, and Title options

​
Sort Options

Sort ByDescription
ManualYour custom order (drag to reorder)
PriorityUrgent first, then High, Medium, Low
CreatedNewest or oldest first

TitleAlphabetical order

​
Sort Direction

Click the sort direction button to toggle between:
  • Ascending (↑) - A→Z, oldest first, low→urgent
  • Descending (↓) - Z→A, newest first, urgent→low

​
Manual Sort Mode

When sort is set to Manual:
  • You can drag issues to reorder them within columns
  • Your custom order is saved and shared with the team
  • This is the default mode for most workflows
If you switch away from Manual sort, you cannot drag to reorder issues. The order is determined by the selected sort field.

​
Clearing Filters

​
Clear All

Click the Clear All button to reset all filters and search at once. This shows all issues in the project.

​
Clear Individual Filters

To clear a single filter:
  1. Click the filter dropdown
  2. Deselect all options
To clear the search field, click the × button inside the search box.

​
Filter Persistence

Your filter and sort settings are saved for your session:
  • Filters persist when you navigate away and return
  • Filters reset when you switch projects
  • Filters reset when you sign out
Filters are personal - they don’t affect what other team members see. Everyone can have their own filter settings.

Tips for Efficient Filtering

Use search for known issues

If you know the issue ID or a word in the title, search is the fastest way to find it.

Filter by assignee in standups

During team standups, each person can filter to their assignments to give quick updates.

Combine filters for precision

Use multiple filters together to narrow down exactly what you’re looking for.

Reset filters when stuck

If you can’t find something, click Clear All. You might have forgotten about an active filter.
