Board features

Boost productivity and clarity on every Agile board

  • User-Friendly search bar for Board & Backlog

    Find what you need instantly with an intuitive graphical Search Bar - no more juggling Quick Filters.

    Filter your board dynamically using dropdown menus in Basic Mode or JQL queries in Advanced Mode. Save your favorite search configurations as Private Filters to access them anytime with a single click.

  • JQL filtering for advanced users

    Take full control of your boards with advanced JQL filtering - right where you work. The built-in editor supports real-time validation, auto-completion, and wildcards, making it easier than ever to create precise filters directly on your board or backlog.

  • Adjustable card size

    Customize your board view to match your workflow. When horizontal scrolling is enabled, you can adjust the minimum column width, and all cards automatically resize to your preferred layout - giving you the perfect balance between visibility and space.

  • Bulk change by swimlane

    Simplify board management with smarter bulk actions. Customize your search bar by selecting default filtering fields, then apply your configuration globally across all boards or tailor it to a single board - giving you complete flexibility and control.

  • Customizable search bar fields

    Filter your boards the smart way - no more relying on Quick Filters. With a graphical Search Bar, you can filter dynamically using dropdown menus in Basic Mode or JQL queries in Advanced Mode. Save your favorite search configurations as Private Filters to access them instantly whenever you need.

  • Improved board loading time

    Work faster with smarter filtering. By reducing the number of displayed issues, filters significantly boost board and backlog performance.

    Enjoy boards that load up to 90% faster the next time you access them - so your team can stay focused, not waiting.

Backlog features

Manage complex backlogs effortlessly using advanced planning tools designed to help teams stay organized, focused, and in control.

  • Quick Epics filtering using live search

    Find Epics instantly with a live search input that supports project keys, names, or issue keys.

    Use the pipe character ( | ) to search for multiple items at once - for example: 1.8 | 1.9 | epic123. Simplify backlog navigation and keep your focus where it matters most.

  • JQL filtering on Epics

    Search smarter across Epics and Versions with JQL-powered filtering. Quickly find what you need by component, label, or any other JQL field - all directly from the main search bar.

    Save your favorite filters with the “Save as…” option and reload them anytime from your personal filter list.

  • Global or private planning session filters

    Plan smarter with reusable, customizable filters.

    Save your JQL search queries as private filters (visible only to you) or shared filters for team-wide use - perfect for grouping Epics or Versions, or for Scrum Masters preparing planning sessions.

    With the Filter Manager tool, you can easily export Epics panel filters to any other backlog for consistent, efficient planning.

  • Predefined Epic filters

    Speed up your planning with ready-to-use filters for Epics and Versions - including Empty, Non-empty, Completed, Uncompleted, Estimated, and Unestimated.

    These filters are intelligent - you can combine multiple filters (e.g., Empty and Non-empty) without conflicts, unlike traditional Quick Filters.

    They’re also persistent, so your selections automatically reload the next time you open your board.

  • Estimate Min - Max filters

    Easily focus on the issues that matter most.

    Use minimum and maximum estimate filters to quickly narrow down issues within specific effort or time ranges - helping teams plan more accurately and prioritize effectively.

  • Status labels and warnings

    Gain instant visibility into your workflow progress.

    Display status labels on the Epics panel to easily identify which Epics are in Done status - and quickly mark them as complete or reopen them if related issues are still in progress.

    Enable the version label option to instantly spot Epics directly linked to a specific version, keeping your planning transparent and organized.

  • Hide filtered out epics or versions

    Keep your panels clean and focused. Filtered Epics and Versions are hidden by default to simplify navigation and reduce visual clutter.

    Need to review them again? Simply use the “Show filtered…” option to display all filtered items instantly.

User & global board filters

Create personal filters to manage your own workflow or global filters to align teams across multiple boards. Perfect for managing complex backlogs and keeping planning sessions consistent and efficient.

  • Private "Quick Filters" for board & backlog

    Personalize your workflow with custom private filters for both boards and backlogs.

    Organize filters by planning, reporting, or board use, and easily load them from the main search bar.

    For advanced control, manage and edit all your filters in one place using the Filter Manager tool.

  • "Save as" filter functionality from the Issue Search screen

    Create and reuse filters in seconds with the intuitive “Save As” dialog.

    Easily build private, shared, or Quick Filters directly from the Issue Search screen.

    Permissions follow Jira’s native rules - meaning only board administrators can create shared or Quick Filters, ensuring control and consistency across your projects.

  • Advanced filter manager

    Take full control of your filters with the Agile Tools and Filter’s Advanced Filter Manager - a centralized hub for managing every filter type.

    Easily manage:

    • Private & shared board filters
    • Private & shared backlog filters
    • Private & shared epics panel filters
    • Private & shared versions panel filters
    • Quick Filters
    • Favourite Jira filters

    Perform key actions such as copying, reordering, updating, importing, exporting, or deleting filters - even copying filters between boards for faster setup and consistency.

    Permissions & access:

    • Quick Filters can only be managed by Board Administrator
    • Shared Filters can only be managed by the Board Administrator
    • Favourite JIRA filters can be imported as private, shared or Quick Filters
  • Turn private filters into Quick Filters

    Private filters allow you to reduce the number of Quick Filters on the board. With the Filter Manager, you can easily copy existing Quick Filters into private or shared filters for more flexible and organized management.

  • Import & export filters between boards

    Advanced users can export filters in JSON format and import them to other boards - even across different Jira instances.

    Easily copy Quick Filters or complete filter sets between boards to keep configurations aligned and reusable.

Advanced tools

Manage complex backlogs effortlessly with powerful, advanced planning tools designed to bring clarity, speed, and structure to every sprint.

  • Find unprinted cards (Agile Cards by Spartez Integration)

    Save time and paper with smarter printing control.

    A new “Unprinted” button appears at the top of your board or backlog, allowing you to instantly identify cards that haven’t been printed by the Agile Cards by Spartez plugin yet.

    Perfect for keeping physical boards up to date without wasting resources.

  • Enable or disable Search Bar on selected boards

    Stay in control of your board experience.

    Board administrators can easily enable or disable the Search Bar for specific boards - perfect for smaller projects that don’t require advanced filtering or search capabilities.

  • Disable Quick Filters bar

    Maximize your workspace and focus on what matters.

    Free up valuable screen space on your board and backlog by disabling the Quick Filters bar - a simple way to create a cleaner, distraction-free view for your team.

  • Advanced global & board configuration

    Full flexibility for every team and project.

    Set configurations globally for all boards or individually per board - giving each team the freedom to work their own way. Board-specific settings always override global defaults, ensuring total customization where it matters most.

    You can:

    • Enable or disable the Search Bar and Quick Filters
    • Customize Search Bar features and visible fields
    • Optimize your board’s screen layout for better visibility and performance
