Best practices and guardrails
Best practices and guardrails provide proven guidance that helps you get the most out of your experience with the Jama Connect application.
Change/use this... | For this result... |
|---|---|
Explorer Tree settings | When your project has a large number of items, improve performance by changing the Explorer Tree settings to only show folders and components. |
Filters | Filters that run against all projects find and display results for all items in your Jama Connect application. Filters like these can return large data sets and degrade performance. To assure quality performance, make filters more specific to return only the results you need. |
Items and attachments | When working with more than 1,000 items per folder, hide items in the Explorer Tree and work with them in List View in the center panel. To move multiple items, multi-select in List View and drag them to their new location in the Explorer Tree. Files larger than 25 MB aren't indexed so their content isn't searchable.
|
Item field content | Limit the content of item fields to fewer than 10,000 characters (2,000 words). When you compare review versions, the applications might skip fields with lengthy content. |
Reuse and synchronization | Reuse and synchronization of hundreds of items can affect system performance. When you try to reuse and synchronize hundreds of items, a warning appears that performance is likely to be impacted. To reuse and synchronize hundreds of items, rim tje reuse and synchronization options in smaller batches or start the process during off hours when demand for resources is less. |
Review items | Limit your reviews to fewer than 250 items. This threshold is in place to mitigate any performance issues from a review with an excessive number of items. |
