Backlog Filters

Filters let you narrow the backlog to show only items matching certain criteria. All filters are URL-persistent — you can bookmark or share a filtered view.

Filter Bar

The filter bar appears at the top of the backlog list view. It contains:

  • Quick-filter status chips — click a status chip (Draft, Ready, In Progress, In Review, Done) to toggle it on/off. Multiple statuses can be active simultaneously.
  • Type filter — filter by feature, bug, chore, or spike
  • Priority filter — filter by high, medium, or low
  • Label filter — type to search active labels
  • Theme filter — filter by theme (epic)

Applying Filters

Click any filter control to apply it. Active filters are highlighted. The backlog list updates instantly without a page reload.

Clearing Filters

Click the × on any active filter chip to remove it, or click Clear all to reset to an unfiltered view.

URL-Preserved State

Every filter combination is encoded into the page URL as query parameters. This means:

  • The browser Back button restores the previous filter state
  • You can copy the URL and share it with teammates to show the same view
  • Refreshing the page keeps your filters active

Combining Filters

All active filters are applied with AND logic — if you filter for status=Ready AND type=Feature, you see only Ready Features. Within the status quick-filter chips, selecting multiple statuses uses OR logic (show Draft OR Ready).

Saved Views

Frequent filter combinations can be bookmarked in your browser for quick access. A dedicated “Save view” feature is planned for a future release.
