To learn more, see the blog post on the Perforce website.

Organize filters and reports using tags

Administrators can now create tags for grouping related filters or reports, such as those for a specific product or release. If your team has a large number of filters and reports, use tags to organize them and help team members find them more easily in various areas of ALM.

Tags have a unique name, optional description, text color, background color, and icon to help users identify them.

To add or remove tags to a group of selected filters or reports, you can bulk change tags to apply the changes at once.

Add filters or reports as favorites for quick access

Add specific filters or reports as favorites to find them more easily. If you no longer want a filter or report to be a favorite, you can remove it from your favorites.

To learn more, see Adding and removing filters as favorites and Adding and removing reports as favorites.

Use new filtering options to find relevant items in the Filters and Reports lists

To find relevant items in the Filters and Reports lists, use new filtering options in the Display Options pane. Limit the displayed filters or reports based on the allowed access, if they are favorites, and by selected tags.

View and manage filters using the Filters list in the web client

You can now view all filters in a project in the Filters list in the web client. To access filters, click Filters in the navigation bar.

From the Filters list, you can perform the following actions on filters: view, add, edit, duplicate, add favorites, remove favorites, bulk change tags, export to Microsoft Excel, and export to text.
