Create or edit an advanced filter
Filters allow you to customize the scope of a search so it’s more granular and efficient. You can create a filter or edit an existing saved filter.
Important considerations
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 a filter's details, right-click on the filter name under the Filters tab and select View criteria.
To create an advanced filter:
Select the Filters tab in the Explorer Tree.
Click Add filter to open the New filter window.
Enter a name for the filter and define the project scope:
This project only — Queries data from the project you are viewing at the time. The filter appears only when using this project.
Current project — Queries data from the project you are viewing at the time but the filter is also available for other projects.
All projects — Pulls data from every project in the organization where you have permissions to view. Results include items from other projects that match the filter criteria.
(Optional) Select Make public to share the filter with anyone who has access to the project.
Define the Match option for a specific item type or All Item Types.
When you select a specific item type, you can filter by its fields. Searching for All Item Types limits your criteria to Jama Connect core fields.
