A Better Way To Filter Your Project Issues
For Gemini 3.6 we have re-designed the existing Issues Filter box and replaced it with what we we believe to be a better way to filtering your Issues base. The main design drivers:
- Dynamic filters that responded to selected Projects; select two or more Projects and watch the Components list auto-magically update.
- Jump quickly to fields you want to filter on without having to scroll around.
- Clutter-free; having multiple list boxes one after the other really isn’t pleasing to the eye. Less is more?
So here’s a first-look at the new Issues Filter:
When you click on a filter item like Projects, you get a popup list to help you select your desired items:
Projects are organized by their label and when you change your Projects list, other filter options like Components load dynamically the appropriate items:
The Components are organized by Project Name and then by their hierarchy. Nice, easy, intuitive user experience!
Finally, other filter items are more intelligent and they only show items for the selected Projects:
Irrelevant items are removed and the the item list is unified across the selected Projects.

Initial thoughts are that I think the font size is too large. Make it the same size as the text for “Issues, Gantt, My Work etc” which is along the top of the screen.
Other than that I think this is a great change and will definitely be more useful. It can be quite annoying scrolling to the bottom of the current screen to apply filters.
Also depending on the project I have a different issue type scheme per issue and currently I am seeing all the Issues types in the filter list even though that particular issue type may not be applicable to the current project.
Making these lists project based so this will be a big advantage.
Yep, I can confirm that things like Issue Types now only show relevant items ACROSS selected Projects.
Thanks for the comment.
I think this will be a really useful tool. Filtering issues is a common task and this will hopefully speed things up and make filtering easier.
I wonder for the hierarcial data, whether a treeview style control could be used as the lists could become quite long. The Gemini project has lots of components on the Beta site. Looking very good though!
Installed the beta today and I agree that the font is too large. Any chance this will be made smaller for the full release?
Other than that it’s looking good.
IE7 Font Size issue fixed!
