## About Quick filters

Thanks to Quick filters, you can narrow down the data you display with predefined JQL (Jira Query Language) statements. This feature provides great flexibility as you can focus exactly on what you need at the moment. For example, you take a closer look at any resource and their workload or only display the tasks assigned to a particular team, version, Epic, or Milestone to get a high-level overview of what's going on.

Quick filters are displayed in the header just below the links in the following [modules](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211711655):

## Configuration

To learn more about configuring Quick filters, see [the Quick filters (Box types) page](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211840523). 

## Apply Quick filters

Once the filters are defined, you can apply them by selecting the filter with the picker in the header. After activating the filter, you'll see an orange dot next to the button. You can select multiple filters and use the "**And** and **Or** operators to combine your queries and create advanced search strings. **Click the checkbox to switch the filter on**.

## Filters are applied

### Per module

When you activate a filter, it **applies only to the module you are currently in**. 

If needed, you can **apply a current filter to all modules**. This overrides any filters have were active in other modules.

### Per user

Filters are active per user - when you activate the filters other users are not affected. Only your view is changed.

## Clear Quick filters

To clear all Quick filters, click the orange dot.

## Quick filter search

The number of filters you've created can be quite large. To quickly find the filter you need, start typing in the name of the filter to narrow down the list.

## Favorite filters

Click on the star to display the name of the filter in the header, next to the filter search.

Any user can have their own list of favorite filters, and their lists don't interfere with each other.

## Limitations

"ORDER BY" JQL keyword can’t be executed.
