Summary
This article explains the differences between saved view types in Jama Connect®—including Saved Trace Views, Saved Coverage Explorer Views, Saved Live Trace Explorer (LTE) Views, Saved Filters, and Saved Sync Diff Views. It clarifies which views are user-specific, project-specific, or shared across users, and outlines visibility, editing permissions, and best practices for managing views effectively across projects.
Resolution
| View Type | User Specific? | Project Specific? | Instance Wide? | Visibility | Ownership/Editing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saved Trace Views | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Only visible to the user who created them. Can share with others using the URL. | Each user must create their own view | Saved views are tied to the project where they were created. Selecting them in other projects redirects you. |
| Saved Coverage Explorer Views | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Visible to all users in the project | Only the creator can rename or delete | Best practice: have an admin create all coverage views. Must be recreated in each project. |
| Saved Live Trace Explorer (LTE) Diagrams | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Can see saved diagram views. | Admins can save diagrams that other users can view. | Requires Creator or Creator (Float) license to see LTE. |
| Saved Filters | Optional | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Can see filters created by other users if they select the option to make public. Can share non-public filters with others using the URL. | Only Admins can edit others' filters | Must have creator license and write permissions to create filters. Filters shared with the project are included in project duplications. Cannot copy/paste filters between projects otherwise. |
| Saved Sync Diff Views | Optional | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Can see diff views created by other users if they select the option to make this view public. | Only Admins can edit others' diff views | Creators and Stakeholders can save diff views. |
