These settings allow you to apply different filters to Jira Work Managements tables to customize your data source.

No Filters

This filter returns all data and it’s applied by default. Keep this option if you want to export all existing issues.

JQL

📘 The Jira Work Management Filters in the Power BI Connector have been updated. JQL and Basic Filter options remain the same, and a JQL-Basic Switch feature has been added.

For data analysts, business analysts, and project managers using Jira Cloud who require the efficient extraction of project management data, particularly in large volumes the JQL-Basic Switch for filtering is a valuable addition that expedites the process of filtering and selecting fields, leveraging Jira native logic

JQL-Basic Switch

Overview

📘 Be default, the JQL filter is selected in the JQL-Basic Switch.

• JQL to Basic: When you enter a JQL query, the system automatically processes it. You can then switch to the Basic tab to view the data in a simpler, more visual format.

• Basic to JQL: Any changes you make in the Basic tab will automatically create a new JQL query when you switch back to the JQL tab.

General Rules

📘 The following fields are supported between JQL and Basic filters:

• PROJECT

• ISSUE_TYPE

• STATUS

• CREATED

• UPDATED

📘 Only the AND and ORDER BY keywords are acceptable.

When the user types an ORDER BY clause in the JQL string, it is preserved even after switching to the Basic filter view. If the user selects or modifies fields in the Basic view and then switches back to the JQL view, the ORDER BY clause remains part of the query string.

The ORDER BY clause may use any JQL fields, not just the fields supported by the Basic view. Even if the ORDER BY clause includes fields that are not part of the Basic filter view, it will still be retained when switching back to JQL.

❗ The following keywords will trigger an error message if used: OR, NOT, EMPTY, NULL.

❗ Usage of any JQL functions with these fields is not supported, and will result in an error.

JQL Filter Usage

📘 The filter allows you to search for issues, projects, etc. in Jira and pinpoint exactly what you want. Select this option if you want to create your own request and filter data.
