Saved Filters in Jira (Share Your Search)
Turn a JQL search you run every week into a saved filter, share it with your whole team, and open it again in one click. Shown step by step on a real Jira site.
Step by step
Why save a search
- Saved filters. You ask Jira the same question every week. What is still open in this sprint? Save that search once as a filter, share it with the team, and it is always one click away.
- Switch to JQL. This is the search page. Make sure it is set to JQL.
Build the search
- Ask the question. Replace the query with the question. Everything in the open sprint that is not done yet. Click search. Five work items are still open.
Save it
- Save filter. Now keep it. Click save filter. Give it a name that says what it shows, and for which project. Open sprint work, online shop.
Share it
- Share it. Right now it is private. Only you can see it. To share it, open the viewers list. Pick my organization, so everyone who logs in to this Jira site can open it. Then click add. Keep the editors private, so nobody changes your query by mistake.
- Save. Click save.
Use it
- One click away. The filter now has its own page and its own link. Send that link to the team, or put it on a dashboard. The star means it is one of your favourites. Starred filters also show up in the sidebar, under filters.
- Filter details. Click filter details to check who can see it. Visible to every logged in user, editable only by you. Anyone who opens the link sees the latest results, every time.
Recap
- Search, save, share. So, write the search once in JQL. Save it with a clear name. Share it with your organization, keep the editors private, and send the link. Subscribe for more Jira tips for business analysts.
