Filter and search in a board
You can filter a board to display:
- Cards assigned to certain people
- Cards with certain tags
- Cards with a specific status
- Cards due in a certain time frame
- Archived cards
- Cards connected to a specific project
Sorting the board sorts all of the cards in the columns. You can’t sort a single column, and the backlog or intake column is not sorted.
Searching also helps you locate a specific card on the board.
When filters are applied, an indicator is displayed on the board
