Filter for cards not assigned to?
Asked by Nathan Paris:

All,

Is there a way, on a board, to filter for cards that I have NOT been assigned to?   

I see ability to search for cards with "No Members", but would love if could find any card not assigned to me.

Thanks, Natha

I might actually post another one that asks if anyone knows a way to handle our sceneario.

Thanks!

if you want to create a quick filter for all issues that are not assigned to you (so unassigned or other users), have you tried the JQL assignee != currentUser() OR assignee is EMPTY for that? Best, Max

Thanks for sending that. I didnt realise you could use JQL in Trello, so awesome.   

I tried the JQL assignee != currentUser() which didn't seem to work.   

When I apply that, nothing shows. I have a feeling I am incorrectly entering the query, so please let me know if you see the issue.

**Here is before the filter which shows I am only a member of one card:**

**And after the filter:**

Thanks!

body: Oh Nathan,

I just realised my mistake and thanks for pointing out that we were talking about Trello. I was answering your question when I was mostly browsing Jira topics in the community. So excuse me. I think you can't filter for that but a search should be no problem with the query "-@me AND board:"your board"". Best, Max

Alright that make sense.

Is there any way to do this from the filter "on the right" and not the top one.   

I.e. would like to be able to filter on the current board, similar to how you can just select labels and the board is then updated.

The scenario is we want to use it as a training board, and once you have completed the training, you simply add yourself to that card so you can filter and see what training you have remaining.  

So maybe there is a better way to accomplish that?  

We don't want to have a new training board for every employee, but one so we can update in one place, and have comments per item.  

Thanks for the help and please let me know any feedback or suggestions.

<br />

Thanks, Nathan

body: Hey Nathan,

not that I'm aware of because on the right you are filtering cards on your board and filtering works with keywords (or labels and members). In the top bar you are searching for cards and the search supports special operators like the negation I used above. But if I come across a nice power-up (or browser extension) I let you know! ;)
