Filter Operators — BetterBoard Documentation

Selection operators

Available on enumerable fields: Status, Priority, Work item Type, Assignee, Reporter, Labels, Fix Version, Component, Sprint, and single- or multi-select custom fields.

Operator	Meaning
`is`	Matches exactly one selected value
`is any of`	Matches any of the selected values (OR)
`is not`	Excludes one selected value
`is none of`	Excludes all of the selected values
`includes all of`	Work item must have every selected value (AND — for multi-value fields like Labels, Sprint, and multi-select custom fields)
`is empty`	Field has no value
`is not empty`	Field has any value

For Assignee and Reporter, you can select Current user as a value. This resolves dynamically — a board filtered by "Assignee is Current user" shows each viewer only their own work items.

Text operators

Available on text fields (Summary, short text, and URL custom fields).

Operator	Meaning
`is`	Exactly matches the entered text
`is not`	Does not exactly match the entered text
`contains`	Field includes the search string (case-insensitive substring match)
`does not contain`	Field does not include the search string
`is empty`	Field has no value
`is not empty`	Field has any value

Numeric operators

Available on number and rating custom fields.

Operator	Meaning
`is`	Exactly equal to the number
`is not`	Not equal to the number
`greater than`	Value is strictly greater than the number
`at least`	Value is greater than or equal to the number
`less than`	Value is strictly less than the number
`at most`	Value is less than or equal to the number
`is empty`	Field has no value
`is not empty`	Field has any value

Date operators

Available on date and date-time fields (Due Date, Start Date, Created, Updated, and date custom fields).

Operator	Meaning
`is`	Exactly on the selected date
`is not`	Not on the selected date
`before`	Earlier than the selected date
`on or before`	On or earlier than the selected date
`after`	Later than the selected date
`on or after`	On or later than the selected date
`is empty`	No date set
`is not empty`	A date is set

Blockers operators

Available on the Blockers field. These operators have no value to pick — they act as toggles based on the presence of work item links.

Operator	Meaning
`is blocked`	Has at least one "is blocked by" work item link
`is not blocked`	Has no "is blocked by" links
`is blocking`	Is blocking at least one other work item
`is not blocking`	Is not blocking any other work items
