You can add a "Matches Any" group in addition to the default "Matches All" group of filters. Filters added in the "Matches Any" group ("Or") will show all stories that meet any of the selected filter values.

Legacy Stories Page

  • Standard Filters

    Standard filters in Shortcut are all entity items the Story page can be filtered by. This includes things like Teams, Iterations, Epics, and Custom Fields. Selections of these can be made by expanding the available filters dropdown and clicking on their respective checkbox.

    To select just one, you can hover over it and select Only from the context menu.

    Quick Filters

    Quick filters are filters not based on entities such as Teams or Epics, but rather keywords, labels, workstreams, etc. These quick filters can be mixed and matched and used in conjunction with the Standard filters.

    Click Add Quick Filters to get started:

    Filter Logic

    You can change between using `AND` based filters or `OR` based filters after you've chosen your first quick filter.

    Exclude Filters

    If you wish to exclude a term or filter from affecting the board, locate the filter and then hover over it and select "Inverse"; you will then only be presented with Stories that exclude that filter.

    Once you create a filtered view that you know you'll want to return to, you can save it as a Space. For more on Spaces, see: What Are Spaces
