Assigning people to quick filters

[Mark DiBuono]

I am starting a Kanban Board to track jobs in our cleaning department. Our cleaning department has 3 areas.

The board consists of "Incoming Jobs" "In Progress' "On Hold" and "Done"

Quick Filters are to designate the jobs entered into the incoming jobs based on the label entered.

Quick Filters are "General Clean" "Special Clean" Surface Treatment"

How can i assign a lead person to each filter so when they chose "Only My Issues", it gives them all of the issues under a specific quick filter?

Thank you

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

"Only my issues" means "issues assigned to me".  You do not "assign" a filter to anyone; that makes no sense.  If you want "only my issues" to work, assign the issues to the person who is going to take responsibility for getting the issue done.

So maybe I'm thinking of it wrong. I was trying to replicate another board we have in house and the quick filters are each of our initials.

When we create a task, it gets assigned to someone. Using quick filters, we can click the initials of everyone in the group to view the tasks or we can use "only my issues" to just see ours

Thats what i was meaning by "linking them"

Yes, those "initialled" quick filters are built into certain project types.  They are literally doing "assignee = <person>"

For boards where they're not built in, you will have to replicate them manually, but it is as simple as repeatedly doing "assignee = <person>" for each one.

ah! ok perfect. thank you. I just need to JQL for each filter. Is there a place within the forums that lists JQL formulas or whatever they call them?

Very new to this so i appreciate all the help

It's literally "assignee = <person>" - replace the <person> with the name of each person you want to select for.  The JQL entry box has auto-complete, it will help you identify them as you start typing their name!

Bother, I wanted to also say 

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/use-advanced-search-with-jira-query-language-jql/

It's a technical manual, detailing the usage, rather than examples or tutorials, but once you've got the hang of a simple query (ignore "functions" until you've got the hang of the basics), the only bit that people then struggle with is that humans are terrible at logic and don't understand how to join clauses with "and" and "or" statements properly ( "A and B or C" is not the same as "A or B and C"), or what "not" really logically does.

yep, i got the assignee part with no problem. it just made me think to ask if there was a list somewhere. thanks for the help!
