Basic Filters

Edit online

Basic Filters for views and Visual Reports help you to select, hide, or highlight items. Basic filters work a lot like Google; you just type keywords and filter cards by titles, or tags, or numeric IDs.

Note: Basic Filters are applied to the Filter and Visual Encoding input areas in view sand reports.

Here's how filtering works:

What you type What you get
regression Name or Tags contain 'regression'
bluetooth hold Name or Tags contain 'bluetooth' and Name or Tags contain 'hold'
234 Numeric ID starts/ends with '234' or Name/Tags contains '234'

Filters for swimlanes and hierarchy levels

To filter swimlanes (columns and rows) on Boards, hierarchical levels in Lists, lanes on Timelines please modify view settings. To do it, navigate Actions > Set up view > Setup tab.
