Board filters

Using Board filters, you specify the data to be included on the board. For example, the board could include data from one project, multiple projects, or from a particular component of a portfolio. You can include data for a specific time period, such as a sprint, for a specific team, or across multiple products.

Board filters are applied to all data in the board, which includes the Roadmap, Card view, Grid. Only the Owner and Editor can edit board filters.

Searching by name 

To search for items, you can search by name on all modules supported in Hybrid. When the user enters a letter in the Search field, it will filter the view dynamically and show only the relevant work items below. 

Viewing Board filters

Board Users will be able to understand what filters were applied by the Owner of the Board.

Best Practices

To improve the performance of a board, reduce the amount of data that is included in a board by setting ate filters and state filters. For example, set filters that hide items that are completed, or show only overdue items. You can change the time period or choose to always show all data.
