Creating Favorite Views
A favorite view is a view of an ALM window configured with the settings you applied to it. For example, in the Defects Grid, you may want to apply a filter to display only the defects that were detected by you, are assigned to you, or have the status “Not Closed”.
In this exercise, you will create a favorite view in the Defects Grid.
To create a favorite view:
-
Make sure that the Defects module is displayed.
If the Defects module is not displayed, on the ALM sidebar, select Defects.
-
Define a filter to view defects you detected that are not closed.
-
Click the Set Filter/Sort button. The Filter defects dialog box opens.
-
For the Detected By field, click the Filter Condition box. Click the arrow. The Select Filter Condition dialog box opens.
-
Under Name, select the [CurrentUser] variable, or select your ALM login name from the list. Click OK to close the Select Filter Condition dialog box.

For the Status field, click the Filter Condition box. Click the arrow. The Select Filter Condition dialog box opens.

In the right pane, click the logical expression Not.

Add a favorite view.
-
In the Favorites menu, select Add to Favorites. The Add Favorite dialog box opens.

You can add a favorite view to either a public folder or a private folder. Views in the public folder are accessible to all users. Views in the private folder are accessible only to the person who created them. Select Private.
