Adding and removing filters as favorites

If your project contains a large number of filters, you may want to add filters you use frequently as favorites to find them easily. Filters you add as favorites have a star next to them anywhere they are displayed in ALM.

You can add filters as favorites when working in an item list window, working in the Filters list window, when editing or viewing a filter, or in any other areas where the Filters field is available throughout ALM.

If you no longer want to include a filter as a favorite, you can remove it.
