#935 Filter cards by date or tags

Hello,

We would need a filter by date on wekan. I haven't seen such a feature on the latest version.

It could allow for example to view cards deplaced at a specific date, or to view created cards between two dates, etc.

This would be bring the possiblity to be able to review after a week for example what have been done for managers.

Is it something that would interest others ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

I can define requirements (RFC) for the feature, if somebody will be able to take it in development?

OK, there is draft v 0.1 with some TODOs (TBA) for later work, but basic idea should be clear.

General

• Filtering should be very simple for user (i.e. without any queries, operators, operands, etc.) and extendable on implementation level. Let’s call it Filtering Engine.
• All existing features and all future plugin API should be covered with Filtering Engine, i.e. the filtering architecture should allow to implement filtering for any existing field and all added fields by plugins (see Technical Details below).
• There are only two types of filtering for user:
• Text filtering
• Selector (checkbox or radio button) filtering.
• Clear filter button should be the last one on filter panel.

Text Filtering

• On filter panel should be single text box which accepting any text
• Typed text should immediately show only cards which contains this text in any of the following fields:
• Title
• Description
• Text within checklists
• Comments

Selector Filtering

The following fields should be represented as sections within a set of selectors inside:

• Label (checkbox type)
• List of labels on the board
• Due (radio button type)
• Due in the next day
• Due in the next week
• Due in the next month
• Has no due date
• Last updated (radio button type)
• Updated a day ago
• Updated a week ago
• Updated a month ago
• Updated more than a month ago
• Created at (radio button type)
• Created a day ago
• Created a week ago
• Created a month ago
• Created more than a month ago
• Created by (checkbox type)
• List of members added to the board
• Assigned to (checkbox type)
• List of members added to the board

Technical Details

Idea

• The general idea to have implementation which allow to compose filter logic with simple picking a field as operand and combining them with operators. It's logic of the filter.
• The logic should be able to expose on UI. It's view of the filter.

TBA

Wireframes

We have another need linked to the filter idea which is sorting.

ex :

• Sorting by tags (we use priority colors : P1 is red, P2 is orange, P3 is yellow and would like a sort by priority) ;
• Sorting by dates (beginning, deadline, etc.) ;

It could be an option of a column or a global option like filter.

Does it need a specific issue or can it be part of this one ?

Thanks

@ebxm, this is a separate feature, so should be a separate issue IMO.

This would be very useful!
May I add:

• due in the previous week (great for weeklies)
• overdue

How about a way to save presets of combined filters like "all of my urgent cards due in next week"?

I'd also like to be able to filter by overdue cards. I'm not sure if the advanced filter allows operands on the 'due date' field currently, I've tried but with no luck so far.

Can I show due - overdue cards..? I'm not shure how to do it... Is it possible at all?

I mean like this one:
Open filter and Enter like this:
due:overdue

It doesn't work now...

Filtering by due date etc dates is not implemented yet.

There is only filtering by Custom Fields (Text/Number/Date/DropDown List) so if you add some Date Custom Field to cards, then you can filter those, using Advanced Filter.

Thank a lot for you job. It is very important to have a native filter with due date I think. For example: I have about 10 project. I want to open wekan and show any 'red' due date tasks from any project.

Hi there all,

is there any way to use the filter in the calendar also?

My intention is to NOT see cards with a Tag or custom field "done" (or like this) in the Calendar List.
At the moment i have done cards from the past in this view:

This would actually be super useful! Should we open a new feature request for this?
