Pipeline Studio

Pipeline Studio is the full-power way to shape a lens. Instead of juggling one-click filters and sorts, you build an ordered pipeline of Filter, Group, and Sort cards. Each card transforms the rows flowing into it, and the order matters — “Filter then Group” is not the same as “Group then Filter”.

Open Pipeline Studio when a Quick Filter is not enough, you need stacked sorts or nested groups, or you want the arrangement saved with the view and shared with collaborators.

Open Pipeline Studio

Click the Pipeline Studio button in the toolbar.
A right-side panel opens. If you already have legacy sort or group settings on the view, Pipeline Studio shows them as existing cards.
The top of the panel shows a summary: 8 items → [Filter] → [Group] → [Sort] → 6 items.

Add operations

Click + Add Operation at the bottom of the pipeline.
Choose one:
- Filter — keeps only matching rows. Uses operators like equals, contains, is empty, greater than.
- Group — collects rows under a field-based header (Status, Assignee, Sprint, etc.).
- Sort — orders rows by a field, ascending or descending.
The new card appears at the bottom. Expand it to configure the field, operator, and value.

Reorder cards

Grab a card’s drag handle on the left.
Drop it above or below another card. The pipeline re-runs instantly.
Scope indicators on Sort cards update automatically — “Sorting within each group” versus “Sorting all items”.

Order matters:

Filter → Group → Sort removes non-matching rows, then groups, then sorts inside each group.
Group → Filter groups everything first and then removes items within groups, which can leave sparse groups.

Stack multi-level sorts and groups

Add two or more Sort cards to sort by primary, then secondary, then tertiary keys.
Add two or more Group cards to create nested groups like Project → Status.

Save the pipeline

When the preview looks right, click Save to View.
The pipeline is written to the view’s settings and is now shared with anyone who opens that view.
The Save button disables once the saved pipeline matches what you see.

To throw away pending changes, click Clear All or close the panel without saving.

Guardrails while Pipeline Studio is active

Drag-and-drop row reordering is disabled — the pipeline owns ordering.
Indent and outdent are disabled for the same reason.
Column header sort clicks edit the active pipeline sort card instead of creating a separate sort.
