Board and columns

Filter the board

I want to …

… narrow the board to a topic, a person, a tag, a due date, or a priority, and sort the cards.

Before you start

  • Filters hide cards. They do not delete anything. Sort changes the order you see.
  • In Done, an active filter often shows visible/total.
  • The app bar keeps Assignee and folds topic, tag, due date, and priority into Filters. Sort sits to the right of Filters.
  • On a narrow screen, Filters and Sort show only their icon. The names stay in the menu.

Here's how

  1. Open Board.
  2. Tap Assignee, or tap Filters and open Topic, Tag, Due date, or Priority.
  3. Pick one or more topics, people, tags, or priorities. Unassigned shows cards with no assignee. All, Any due date, or Any priority clears that filter. As Owner or Admin with a free seat, Assignee ends with Invite member.
  4. For due dates, pick Today, Overdue, This week, or No due date. Today is first. This week runs from today through Sunday. You can pick more than one.
  5. For priority, pick High, Medium, Low, or No priority. You can pick more than one. No priority shows cards with no level set.
  6. The filters combine: a card must match every active filter. Due-date choices combine with each other, so Today plus Overdue shows both. Priority choices combine the same way.
  7. Filters shows how many topic, tag, due-date, and priority choices are active. Clear filters resets those four. Assignee stays as you set it.
  8. To reset one filter, open its menu and choose All, Any due date, or Any priority.
  9. Tap Sort and choose Due date or Priority. Due date puts the earliest date first and cards with no date last. Priority puts High first, then Medium, then Low, then cards with no priority. A tie keeps the board order, and equal priorities also use the due date. Board order returns to the order you arranged by dragging.
  10. While Due date or Priority is selected, you can still drag a card into another column. A new spot in the same column is available again after you choose Board order.

The result

The board shows the cards that match the topic, person, tag, due date, and priority, in the order you chose. The other cards stay in the workspace; they are just hidden.

Common questions

Do filters survive if I close the app?

Yes. The selection is stored on your account and comes back on your other devices. Sort is stored the same way.

Do filters hide my focus task?

On the board, yes, if it does not match. The Focus tab and the focus bar still show it.
