Project Overview

The Project Overview page allows you to view all your Jira projects in a single table with their respective JQL properties and filter them dynamically using an advanced filter system.
Note: only properties that are set to “active” in the Global Settings are displayed in the overview table.

Understanding the Filter logic

Within a Filter Bar (AND-logic)

All filter buttons in the same bar must match for a project to qualify.
Example: “Priority = High” AND “Downloads > 100” means a project needs both conditions to be shown.

Between Filter Bars (OR-logic)

A project qualifies if it matches any one of your filter bars.
Example: Projects matching Bar 1 or Bar 2 or Bar 3 will be shown.

Special Cases:

  • No filter bars or empty filter bars→ All projects displayed

  • Empty filter buttons → Ignored (treated as “no filter”)

  • Multiple bars with the same filter button → Creates complex OR-conditions
