In this topic:

Number | Filter name | Description

| Program filter | Filter by program.
| Show descendants filter | Switch between showing only direct descendants of the selected node in the Backlog or Application Modules tree, or showing all descendants of the selected node.

## Context filters

Context filters are available in the context filter bar. Depending on the module, context filters might include release, sprint, milestone, and team.

Click the down arrow of a filter to select the values you want to filter by, or click the directional arrows to filter by each possible value in turn.

Active filter values are highlighted. Click a filter value to activate or deactivate it.

Context filter | Description
--- | ---
Release | Filter by release. The options in the Release list are filtered according to the selected programs in the Program filter. For details, see Program filter. Note: After filtering for a specific release, additional items that are not directly related to that release might be displayed. These items are indirectly related to a release, through their children. If you want to display only items that are directly related to the release, filter by release using quick or advanced filters. For details on quick and advanced filters, see Filters. You can also filter for directly or indirectly related items in the Epics and Features tabs by clicking Show only direct epics/features or Show also indirect epics/features. When filtering the Epics tab: If the No Release or All Releases option is selected, filtering of epics in the Backlog module is based on the selected milestone field when the grid is set to show direct epics. If a specific release is selected, and the grid is set to show indirect epics, epics with features assigned to that release are filtered and displayed in the grid. If a specific release is selected, and the grid is set to show only direct epics, epics are not displayed in the grid because epics do not support the Release field.
Sprint | Filter by sprint. The sprints are listed in the following order: current, next sprints in ascending order, and past sprints. The Sprint filter is available only if you have selected a specific release in the Release context filter.
Milestone | Filter by milestone.
Team | Filter by team (available in Team Backlog only).

Dynamic values

Instead of selecting a specific value, you can filter fields using values that change based on the context, or values that allow multiple possibilities, as described in the following table.

Filter value | Description
--- | ---
[All values] | Display items with any value, including items with no defined value.
[Any value] | Display items with any value, excluding items with no defined value.
[No value] | Only display items with no defined value.
[Default value] | Display items with the field's default value, as defined by the admin. If the admin updates the default value, this filter is automatically updated.
[Current Sprint] | Display items with the value matching the sprint currently in progress, as defined by the admin. When a new sprint begins, this filter is automatically updated.

## Program filter

If programs are defined, you can select one or more programs using the program filter. For details, see Programs.

The program filter is available in the banner.

After filtering items for a specific program, items that are not directly related to that program might be displayed. This may occur for one of the following reasons:

- The item may have no defined program. When specific programs are selected for the context filter, items with no defined program are also included in the results.
- The item may be indirectly related to a selected program, through its children.

If you only want to display items that are directly related to a specific program, filter by program using quick or advanced filters.

## Show descendants filter

In the Backlog and Quality modules, an entity tree appears in the side pane: the Backlog tree in the Backlog module, and the Application Modules tree in the Quality module. When you select a node of the entity tree, the descendants of the selected node are shown in the grid.

You can use the Show descendants filter to switch between the following filter options:

- Show only direct descendants. Displays only children of the selected node.
- Show all descendants. Displays all descendants of the selected node.

To switch between these options, click the Show descendants button in the toolbar.

Note: The Show descendants filter is only available for certain entities.
