Filtering and sorting
Filter issues by any dimension, group them into sections, sort the results, and control which status lanes appear.
The toolbar above every issue layout gives you the same filtering and sorting tools. Changes apply immediately — the issue count updates and layouts re-render with the filtered set.
Search
Type in the Search field to match issue titles and descriptions. Search combines with other filters (all conditions must match).
Filter dimensions
Open Filter to add conditions. Pick a dimension, configure it, and add more as needed. Active filters show as chips below the toolbar — click × on a chip to remove that condition.
| Dimension | What you can filter |
|---|---|
| Status | Backlog, Planned, In Progress, Review, Done (multi-select) |
| Priority | High, Medium, Low |
| Type | Bug, Feature, Task, Improvement, Chore |
| Assignee | Is / is not / unassigned, plus org members, custom agents, and My assistant |
| Labels | Any label defined in your workspace |
| Project | One or more projects (hidden when you're already in a project context) |
| Creator | Who created the issue |
| Due date | Is, before, after, between, empty, not empty |
| Start date | Same operators as due date |
| Created date | Same operators as due date |
My issues
My issues is a special scope, not a filter chip. Open it from the sidebar under Issues (My issues vs All issues) or add ?assignedToMe=1 to the URL.
When active, only issues assigned to you load from the server. The page title changes to My issues. This is enforced at query time, not by the client filter pipeline.
Sort
Open Sort to choose a field and direction.
| Field | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Manual | Preserves source order (default) |
| Title | Alphabetical |
| Priority | High → Medium → Low |
| Due date | Chronological |
| Created | When the issue was created |
| Updated | Last modification time |
| Status | Workflow order (Backlog through Done) |
Direction: ascending or descending.
Group by
Open Group to bucket issues into collapsible sections (on layouts that support grouping).
| Option | Sections |
|---|---|
| Status | One group per workflow status (respects status visibility) |
| Priority | High, Medium, Low, Unset |
| Type | Bug, Feature, etc. |
| Assignee | One group per assignee |
| No grouping | Single flat list |
Group-by is remembered per layout in your browser. Calendar defaults to no grouping; List and Board default to status.
On Board, columns are always status-based regardless of Group by. See Layouts.
Status visibility
On List, Board, and Timeline, open Status to show or hide workflow lanes.
- Status visibility controls which status sections or columns appear, including empty ones.
- Status filter (in the Filter popover) removes issues from the dataset entirely.
You cannot hide every status — at least one lane must stay visible.
Default visible statuses: Backlog, Planned, In Progress, Review, Done.
Reset
Click Reset in the toolbar to clear filters and sort back to defaults. Reset does not change group-by or status visibility — those stay as you had them.
Empty state
When filters exclude every issue, you'll see No issues match your filters with a button to clear filters.
How filtering works under the hood
Issues load from the server (scoped by project and My issues), then the client applies filter → sort → group in that order. Everything except My issues runs in the browser on the loaded set.
