Summary

The Advanced Filter panel in Jama does not currently allow multiple specific projects to be selected. The available options are:

However, there is a workaround involving creating a condition group and matching on the ID of the projects you would like to filter on.

Steps to filter on multiple projects in an advanced filter:

From the filters tab, create or edit an advanced filter.
In the popup window, under Select a Project, choose All Projects.
In the Create rules section, click the light blue button on the right to create a condition group.
In the header for the condition group, set Match to Any of the following conditions.
To choose a specific project, in the condition group fields, set the following:
- First box choose ID
- Second box choose contains word
- Third box enter the Project Key followed by an asterisk '*' for the project you want to filter on
  - For example, if the Project Key is PROJA-REQ you would enter PROJA-REQ-*
  - The id attribute for every item in a project is prepended by the project key, so this finds all items for a project with the given id to filter through.
Click the green '+' icon to add more condition fields for as many projects as you'd like to filter on.

Advanced Filters in Jama do not allow selecting multiple projects as an option when creating advanced filters.
