Filter Cards on a Board

In this article

As more cards are added to your board, you can limit the number of cards you see by applying a filter. The filter option is designed to help you focus.

Please note that Kanban Zone promotes taking full ownership of cards by setting only one owner per card. This means that setting up a filter for cards assigned to you as the owner will help you focus on the cards that you are responsible for delivering on the board.
