Awesome August updates ☀️ Import from Trello, new University learning path, and more

[#1]

Hi everyone! We’re back with another month of exciting JWM news.

New learning path on Atlassian University

Last month, we shared the first course of a series on Jira Work Management. Now, the entire learning path has launched!

Go from the basics, to best practices on how to get organized, to expert tips that help you make your work more efficient and effective.

Let’s learn!

Import from Trello

When it’s time to scale and collaborate across the organization, bring in the work you’re doing in Trello directly into Jira Work Management.

With our new import flow designed specifically for Trello, you can visualize your work in Jira with a few clicks.

Saved filters

Saved filters are officially here.

If you come back to the same custom filters each time you need to drill down to your team’s most relevant tasks, you can now save them for quick and easy access.

The best part? All of your teammates will be able to use those saved filters too.

Log in to see the updates and let us know what you think this month! We can’t wait to hear your feedback.

@Abby Stiris This is awesome and so timely too. A question, I looked at that import and Asana is listed as coming soon, how soon with that be? The reason I am asking is because we are about to migrate out of Asana in the next few weeks.

[Abby Stiris]

Thanks @Mikael Sandberg! I should have more details soon, but in the meantime do you mind if I reach out directly to learn more? 

[Mikael Sandberg]

Absolutely! I'm more than happy to tell you more about it.

[Phil Parent]

I too am very interested in any updates on an Asana importer if they exist. Thanks for the great update @Abby Stiris 

[Abby Stiris]

Thanks @Phil Parent! Definitely will keep everyone in the loop. Could I reach out to you as well for more details on what you're looking for?

[Nikki Zavadska _Appfire_]

Saved filters! YES! 💥

[Phil Parent]

Definitely!

[Dan Tombs]

I think the import functionality is a much needed to help any transition into JWM. So happy to see this & the saved filters is great.

[Barry Kinner]

Will the ability to save Jira WF filters come to the JIRA app anytime soon?

[Abby Stiris]

@Barry Kinner just to make sure I understand, do you mean the mobile app? I can definitely share that feedback, thank you!

[Barry Kinner]

Yes, sorry should have been clearer. 

[Colin Ostrom]

I do not see the saved filters in any of our JWM projects. Is this something that needs to be activated? 

[Abby Stiris]

@Colin Ostrom you'll want to select a field to filter on, and then the "Save filter" option will appear!

[Colin Ostrom]

Okay thank you! One last question. Is there a way to keep the sorting? I have selected a few options for the filter but the sorting (for example most recently updated) does not seem to stick to a filter.

[Abby Stiris]

Thanks for that feedback, @Colin Ostrom! I'll share with the team 

[Hannah Rayer]

@Abby Stiris - will importing from Trello also import comments? Or only the description?

[Abby Stiris]

@Hannah Rayer yes, comments will be included! Thanks for your question

[Peter Dobson]

Saved filters are great.

I'm unsure about how the set of displayed columns that show in a filter is stored -- with the filter query, or somehow separate. 

When I change the columns in one filter, it seemed to change them in a second filter. 

Is that possible?  Or am I just confused?

[Ben Payne]

Hi @Peter Dobson

Displayed columns on views (board, list, calendar, timeline) are independent of your saved filters. i.e. toggling a saved filter or creating/deleting a saved filter will not affect what columns are displayed in your views.

Filters in general will filter by fields whether or not they are displayed in your views. This applies to your saved filters as well.

Hopefully that helps! please let me know if there's anything else I can help with

[Lawrence Beaumont]

Hi,

This is a great addition and makes Timeline view in a work management project that bit more useable.

It would still be great if we could filter for tasks under a specific epic. I can't find a way to do this in my project timeline view.

Thanks

Lawrence

[Noushin Kananian]

Thanks for update. It's really appreciated. 

[Rama Krishna]

Wonderful feature. 

[Simon Lessard]

@abby - Thanks for the update on Asana importer. What would be the best way to stay in the loop? 

[Abby Stiris]

Thanks everyone! @Simon Lessard I post updates here every month so the Community will be the first to know 🙂

[Mike Prill]

Thanks @Abby Stiris for the saved filter option. They appear to show for everyone by default which seems like it may get cluttery over time. Do you know if a sharing mechanism is in the roadmap to reduce clutter? I love my filters but no one else wants to see them. :) 

Related question, do you think the ability to filter by JQL will end up in Work Management projects? Thanks!
