Agile Tools & Filters 2.5.0

Release Date: 27 April 2018

Become Jira backlog planning master. Filter backlog Epics & Versions lists using JQL

After 5 months of intensive design, development and tests we managed to deliver a long awaited FIX for JSWSERVER-6949 (List of Epics may get very long, we would like to see some filtering capability)

We went far beyond the original request requirements and added tons of robust and complex features to support complex backlog management.

Top 3 highlights from this release:

1. JQL filtering for Epics & Versions lists

2. Simple filtering for business users

JQL seems to be too complex for you? No worries.

Use the board main search bar to filter epics list using drop-downs. Once unlocked the JQL will be copied to JQL panel, and list or board can be filtered further on separately. 

3. New backlog filters and options

Filter your backlog without limits. Here are some filtering use cases:

• Find epics or versions by component or label using JQL

• Find overestimated epics by story points, progress or issue count 

• Restrict Epics & Versions to visible backlog issues

• Show epics workflow status label to find resolved epics 

• Hide filtered out epics to simplify navigation

Complete feature list

1. Full JQL filtering support for Epics & Versions backlog lists

2. Redesigned "Sync to issues" filtering

3. New Epics & Versions filter by estimate - story points, original time estimate, progress, issue count

4. Lock Epics & Versions JQL filtering to main search bar

5. New Epics & Versions private and shared filter types 

6. Quick save / load JQL filters for Epics & Versions backlog lists

7. Hide epics not assigned to a selected version on the Versions list 

8. New Epics & Versions filters: completed, estimated

9. Include epics for selected version - Epic assigned to a selected version will become active

10. Build-in help for Versions & Epics lists filtering

11. Filtering panels in accordion - collapse / expand filters

12. Clear all filters on the Epic and Versions panels

13. Show version label option on the Epic panel to identify epics assigned to a single or more versions

14. Configuration for app release notifications available for Jira administrators

Improvements

1. Spartez Agile Cards app 4.5.x compatibility - print unprinted cards feature

2. Jira 7.9. x empty JQL queries feature support 

3. Jira 7.9.x version wildcards support

4. Added "Save as" private and shared filters icons for easier use

5. Updated icons, labels & tooltips for easier use

6. Updated documentation link to latest JQL 7.9.x syntax help in the JQL editor

7. Improved on-boarding system

Bugfixes

1. JQL "order by" with multiple sorting arguments fails

2. Removed estimation related filters from kanban backlog

3. "Save as" quick filter may break screen layout

4. Backlog live search close icon overlapping text in input

5. "Show workflow status label" state not saved

6. "Save as"  fails if used while using "quick filter" type only

7. Delete quick filter failed in some scenarios

8. Sync to issues had a misleading tooltip description

9. Some tooltips won't disappear from the search bar until screen refresh

10. "Save as" button is too big while css screen mod 2 is disabled

11. Proper JQL input resize on left toolbar open/close action
