## Inactive Epics <a href="#h_8ca25f0b89" id="h_8ca25f0b89"></a>

`No worked in last {timeframe}` dropdown allows you to see all other epics inside your teams board.

Changing the timeframe will impact which epics belongs to the *active epics section* vs *inactive epics sections.*

## FAQ <a href="#h_73f3bbcadb" id="h_73f3bbcadb"></a>

### What epics are shown? <a href="#h_5b12d4a486" id="h_5b12d4a486"></a>

The epics are shown based on [team board setting](https://cdn.zappy.app/77cc8f753e562b0bd99ecc4d90668cf6.png).

Haystack gets all the epics in your board ([timeline in Jira](https://cdn.zappy.app/29e013f8de64d8b2efb4687c62cbfc2d.png)). Team member filters do not have impact on the epics being shown. However, team members will have impact on the drill-ins [to see which issues where contributed by which team](https://cdn.zappy.app/edbf865a0ddbfbb885612b729fa52f65.png).
