How Do I Create a Quick Filter for Unassigned Issues

Creating a quick filter for unassigned issues in Jira involves using Jira's native functionality, complemented by the "Status & Progress Report" gadget from the "Simple Custom Reports, Charts & Time in Status for Jira" app. Here's a brief guide:

1. Jira's Quick Filter:

   • In Jira, navigate to your board and go to board settings.

   • Create a new quick filter with the JQL query: assignee is EMPTY.

   • This filter will allow you to view all unassigned issues quickly.

2. Using "Status & Progress Report" Gadget:

   • Install the "Simple Custom Reports, Charts & Time in Status for Jira" app from the Atlassian Marketplace.

   • Add the "Status & Progress Report" gadget to your dashboard.

   • Configure it to group issues by assignees, which will show both assigned and unassigned issues.

This approach provides a comprehensive view of issue assignments, enhancing issue tracking and management in your Jira projects.
