Add or edit advanced filters
Filters allow you to customize the scope of a search so it’s more granular and efficient.
Important considerations
When you edit or create a filter, you can include or exclude an embedded filter if the condition supports an embedded filter. Otherwise, the option doesn't appear.
For best search results and quality performance, make your filters as specific as possible to return only the results you need. If you run a filter against all your Jama Connect projects, the results you get might be too broad to be helpful and performance can be affected by such a large data set.
Note
Only organization admins can edit filters that they didn't create. Depending on your permissions, you might not be able to edit filters that were created by other users. To view their details, right-click on the filter name under the Filters tab and select View criteria.
To add an advanced filter:
Select the Filters tab in the Explorer Tree.
Select Add filter to open the New filter window.
Enter a name for the filter and select an option to indicate the project scope:
This project only — Queries data from the project the user is viewing at the time. The filter appears only when using this project.
Current project — Queries data from the project the user is viewing at the time. But the filter is also available for use in other projects.
All projects — Pulls data from every project in the organization that the user has permissions to view. Using this option, you can see items from other projects that match the filter criteria.
(Optional) Select Make public to make the filter available to anyone with access to the project.
Define your filter with available conditions, which depend on the selected item type.

From the Select a project drop-down menu, select All Projects or Current Project.
In the Create rules section, add the conditions for the new embedded filter.
