Create a board based on filters

Jira allows you to create a company-managed board that displays work items from multiple projects. Before you begin, you must have access to at least one saved work item filter — either your own filter, or one that someone else has shared with you. If you don't, you need to create and save a new work item filter first. More about creating a filter using JQL.

To create a board from an existing filter:

1. From the top navigation at the top of the page, select the search field (or press /) and select Go to all: Boards. Then select Create board in the upper right of the screen.

2. In the modal that appears, choose to either Create a Scrum board or Create a Kanban board, then choose Board from an existing Saved Filter.

3. Give your board a name, and choose which filter you want to use. This new board will be available to all users who have access to your chosen filter.

4. When you’re ready, select Create board.

Another way you can create a board using an existing filter is by:

1. Hover your cursor over the company-managed software project in the sidebar until a plus icon () shows up next to the project name.

2. Select Create board (), then select what type of board you’d like to create.

3. Enter a name for your board.

4. Choose what to include in the board from the dropdown, then select Advanced.

5. Select which saved filter you’d like to use from the dropdown.

6. Select Create.

Your new board is now ready to use!
