In the app version 5.0, task filtering functionality went through major makeover. The old filters such as ‘Filter by issue type’, ‘Filter by resource’ and ‘Filter by status’ are replaced by more advanced filters. Now, users can filter the tasks either by Gantt / Jira fields, or by JQL.

When Constant display of milestones is marked, milestones will be shown on parent tasks too (will roll up). This allows to see milestones on top levels even if the whole tree is collapsed. In example below, the milestone is shown on a collapsed project because Constant display of milestones is marked.

 

Show tasks sorted by a grid column, or sorted according to order defined in the chart JQL

Did you know you can set the initial task order according to chart JQL order even though you may have reordered the tasks on a chart?

Assuming there is an ‘order by’ clause in chart JQL, you can reset the tasks according to the JQL provided in chart configuration. Simply click Task order by chart JQL under Show menu.

Did you know you can hover over a marker to see what it stands for? By default, the marker names are hidden. Just hover over the marker’s top to reveal its meaning.
