# Filter Bar

- Simple navigation via savable global filter.
- Easy to switch between projects.
- Easy to switch between previous, current and next release.
- Filter bar allows a subset of the states to be shown allowing you, for example, to hide Backlog and Closed as required.

In addition to the kanban board itself, Kanbanara has also been developed around a global filter bar that allows you to slice and dice the cards displayed on the kanban board and other visualisation pages. It allows you to select what cards actually get displayed on your kanban board, listview or standup, be they for a particular project, team member, release, iteration or card type, to mention just a subset of the available options. Should you see a number above a particular filter setting, this tells you how many cards are being filtered out as a result of this setting being set as it is.

## Filter Bar Settings

### Kanban Board

This option allows you to select any one of the 44 kanban board formats available to display. The list of kanban board formats is split into two groups - full and placeholder. Those in the full list will have every applicable cards displayed in the format selected. Those in the placeholder list will only display those cards possessing the attribute selected, the rest being displayed as placeholders.

### Flight Level

This option allows you to display only those cards assigned to the flight level selected. The three selectable flight levels are:

1. Operational
2. Coordination
3. Strategy

Placing cards at a particular flight level is extremely useful from a managerial point of view. You could, for example, place Epic cards at the strategic flight level, child User Stories at the Coordination flight level and child Tasks at the Operational flight level.

### Category

This option allows you to display only those cards assigned the category selected.

### Hashtag

This option allows you to display only those cards assigned the hashtag selected.

### Type

This option allows you to display only those cards of the type selected.

### Team Member

This option allows you to display only those cards owned or being reviewed by the team member selected.

### Project

This option allows you to display only those cards belonging to the project selected.

### Subteam

This option allows you to display only those cards belonging to the selected project subteam. Such project subteams would allow you, for example, to divide your cards by persona.

### Release

The filter bar makes it easy to switch between releases (and iterations), be it the previous, current or next one.

### Iteration

The filter bar makes it easy to switch between iterations, be it the previous, current or next one. This option must be used in conjunction with the release option.

### Severity

This option allows you to display only those cards of the severity selected.

### Priority

### Card

This option allows you to isolate a single card together with any children it may have on the kanban board or list view.

### Customer

This option allows you to display only those cards related to the customer selected.

### Font Size

This option allows the font size on the cards to be altered from minute through normal to huge thereby allowing your kanban board to be read from the back of the room during Standup or to fit nicely on a small screen.
