BOARDS QUERIES · FREE

Filter

Define. Preview. Save.

Build work-item filters with familiar fields and operators, see the WIQL Azure DevOps will run, preview matches, and save the query to Shared Queries—without drafting WIQL from scratch.

Try the working demo Set up in Azure DevOps
Readable query for active bugs and stories, with grouped conditions and four matching work items
Read grouped conditions and preview matching work. Example uses demonstration data.

EDIT THE QUERY

Change a condition directly.

Choose a field, operator, and value. Group conditions with AND / OR, then run the query to review matching work items.

Editing the State condition with field, operator, and value controls
The same query in edit mode. Example uses demonstration data.

SAVED CONDITIONS · FILTER FULL EDITION

Name it once. Reuse it in the next query.

Save an individual condition or an entire AND / OR group with a useful name. Expand its saved details to check the rules, then drag it into a query instead of rebuilding the same filters.

Named saved conditions with Delivery work expanded and its three conditions reused in a query
A saved group restores the area, state, and work item types together. Example uses demonstration data.
