Task Board

๐Ÿ“‹ Task Board

Manage, prioritize, and track bugs, tasks, and feature requests using three powerful views โ€” Kanban, Table, and List โ€” with drag-and-drop, advanced filtering, and bulk operations.


๐ŸŒŸ Overview

The Task Board is the primary workspace in Sniffer where your team manages defects, tasks, and feature requests. Issues come from multiple sources โ€” manual creation, ๐Ÿ’ฌ Feedback widget submissions, ๐Ÿ“ก Live error monitoring, ๐Ÿ”Œ Browser Extension captures, and tickets synced from ๐Ÿ”— Jira. Regardless of origin, every issue lands on the Task Board.

The board is fully synchronized with your connected Jira project. Moving a card to a new column updates the Jira ticket status, and status changes made in Jira are reflected on the board in real time.


๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Board Views

Switch between three views using the toggle buttons in the toolbar:

ViewIconDescription
๐Ÿ“Š KanbanBoard iconDrag-and-drop cards organized by status columns
๐Ÿ“‹ TableGrid iconSpreadsheet-style list with sortable, resizable columns
๐Ÿ“„ ListList iconLinear listing of issues in a compact format

๐Ÿ“Š Kanban View

Issues appear as cards in vertical columns representing workflow stages:

Default ColumnStatus CodeDescription
TodoTODONewly created or triaged issues
In ProgressIN_PROGRESSIssues actively being worked on
In ReviewIN_REVIEWIssues submitted for QA or code review
DoneDONEResolved and verified issues

Tip: Customize columns from โš™๏ธ Settings โ†’ Statuses. You can add, rename, reorder, or delete status columns to match your workflow.

๐Ÿƒ Issue Card Elements

Each card on the board displays:

ElementDescription
Issue KeyUnique identifier (e.g., SNF-142)
TitleSummary of the bug or task
PriorityIcon indicator โ€” ๐Ÿ”ด Highest, ๐ŸŸ  High, ๐ŸŸก Medium, ๐ŸŸข Low
SeverityImpact level badge
AssigneeAvatar of the assigned team member
TagsColor-coded label chips
SourceIcon indicating origin โ€” manual, widget, error monitor, Jira, or extension
Due DateDeadline indicator, highlighted red if overdue

โ†•๏ธ Drag and Drop

Drag cards between columns or reorder within a column:

  1. Card moves to new column โ†’ status updates immediately in Sniffer
  2. Jira sync fires โ†’ corresponding Jira ticket status updates automatically
  3. Automations trigger โ†’ status-based notifications (Slack, email) fire
  4. Activity log records โ†’ the move is logged in the issueโ€™s audit trail

๐Ÿ” Advanced Filtering

The filter bar at the top of the board lets you narrow displayed issues.

Filter Criteria

FilterOptions
StatusSelect one or more statuses
PriorityHighest, High, Medium, Low
AssigneesSelect team members or โ€œUnassignedโ€
TagsSelect one or more tags
Date RangesDue Date, Start Date, or Updated At โ€” with start/end pickers
Created ByFilter by who created the issue
RecurringShow only recurring tasks
SearchFree-text search across title and description

๐Ÿงฎ Filter Logic

  • Between categories โ†’ AND logic (Priority: High AND Assignee: Jane)
  • Within a category โ†’ OR logic (Status: In Progress OR In Review)

๐Ÿ’พ Saved Filters

  1. Apply your desired filters
  2. Click ๐Ÿ’พ Save Filter
  3. Name the filter (e.g., โ€œMy High-Priority Bugsโ€)
  4. Access it from the Saved Filters dropdown

Saved filters are personal by default. Team admins can promote them to shared filters visible to all project members.


๐Ÿ“ฆ Grouping

Group issues into collapsible sections by any field:

Group ByEffect
StatusSections for each workflow status
PrioritySections for Highest, High, Medium, Low
AssigneeOne section per team member + โ€œUnassignedโ€
ProjectSections by project (useful in My Tasks cross-project view)
TagsSections by tag label

Tip: You can also apply a Sub-Group for two-level grouping โ€” e.g., Group by Assignee, Sub-Group by Priority.
