Filters
Learn how to use, save and share filters
Before proceeding make sure that your Request Type’s name doesn’t have whitespaces at the end. Otherwise, your Requests will not be displayed when you filter them.
On the app’s Requests page there are two types of filters:
- Default - these filters appear in the Default section on the Requests page. Default filters are configured by the Jira administrators who can save, remove, and share them, but also can grant permissions to other users to save and share default filters with others. We recommend that this section contains only essential filters, useful for every user, regardless of the function or permission scope.
- User-created - these filters appear in the My filters section on the Requests page and, if they’re not shared they are visible only for the customer who created them. Customers can also share their filters so that others can see and use them, but only the original creator can remove or modify them. Once the filter is removed, it also disappears from every customer’s screen that the filter was shared with. By default, all the customers can save and share their filters. However, the Jira administrator can grant or restrict permissions for specific users, groups or organizations.
Default filters
All requests, Open and Closed filters on the left sidebar are default and all customers can see them.
