Remove swimlanes in the user level

[Keoma Borges]

I'm always working in tickets from different epics, so the swimlanes make hard for me to see all the tasks in the board. I would like it deactivate them, but they are useful for other teammates. Is it possible for me to see the board without the swimlanes but let it unaffected for the rest of team?

Hi Keoma,

The best solution is to just copy the existing board to create a new board for you, and remove the swimlanes in the new board.

Thank you!

You may ask your Jira or the Board administrator to redefine the criteria on which swimlanes are built on the same board; that also helps other board users. Refer to this documentation for the various options available: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/configure-swimlanes/. 

Alternatively, you may ask the above administrators to create a new board for your exclusive use based on the criteria (assignee?) that you select. That way, the original board will be undisturbed.
