Jira Software Essentials: Mastering JQL Filters & Dashboards

Danny Liu develops Jira Query Language as a way to select meaningful groups of work items. Filters and dashboards connect query criteria with recurring team questions. This is a focused continuation from basic board use, useful when a default view no longer expresses the combination of project, status or other metadata needed for an investigation.

What you will learn

• Write a JQL query around explicit criteria.
• Create a reusable filter for a team question.
• Connect query results with a dashboard view.

Who this suits

Basic Jira knowledge is recommended. The provider suggests a Cloud account, while noting that other versions can differ in interface behavior.

Before you enroll

The page was updated in October 2026. Check query results against known sample items and your permissions; a polished dashboard can still omit relevant work when the filter assumptions are wrong.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current enrollment terms and any separate software, account or materials costs.

Put it into practice

Write a filter in plain language before translating it into JQL. Test included and excluded examples, then explain how a changed project state or permission would affect the result shown on a dashboard.

Source and review

This overview is based on the provider's published information, checked on 14 October 2026. It is an editorial assessment, not a claim that we completed the resource. Time filters are approximate study ranges; projects and exercises can take longer.

When no formal provider level is given, the level filter is an editorial estimate based on the published audience and requirements. Time filters use the listed video runtime; independent exercises can take longer.
