Quick filters for Bamboo

Use quick filters for handy search shortcuts in your Bamboo build dashboard. Create filters based on configurable rules and never miss a build plan again.

Quick filters can be created only by administrator and work only with the plans displayed in Bamboo dashboard, which means they don't include plan branches. 

Using quick filters

All quick filters created by an administrator are available to all users of a Bamboo instance in the build dashboard. Select a filter name in the build dashboard to display plans that match the rules assigned to the filter. A plan or plans are displayed only if they match all the rules specified in a filter.

Build dashboard page with quick filters

Starting from version 6.10, all users can select which quick filters they want to see on their dashboard. To do that, select the pencil () icon and select your quick filters. This way you can avoid unnecessary clutter, and create a workspace that suits your needs best.

If you want to bring back a quick filter that you've previously removed from a dashboard, you can also do that by selecting the pencil () icon and searching for your filter name.
