Tip of the Week! Save Time with Custom Filters & Favorites

Every sprint, you hunt for the same information: “Show me all high-priority, unassigned tests” or “Find my open defects, sorted by priority.” Manually recreating these views eats time and defeats the purpose of organized testing.

PractiTest lets you create custom filters once, save them, and pin your favorites for one-click access.

Create a Filter

In any module (Tests, Requirements, Issues, Test Sets), click the “+” button in the filter tree on the left:

  1. Name your filter (e.g., “High Priority - Unassigned Tests”)
  2. Add criteria using AND/OR logic:
  • Status = Ready
  • Priority = High
  • Assignee = Unassigned
  1. Save → Your filter appears in the tree and can be reused instantly

Power Moves: AND/OR Logic & Sub-Filters

  • Combine multiple criteria: Show me tests assigned to me OR high priority + in the current sprint.

  • Create sub-filters: Start with “Open Issues,” then create a child filter for “Database Component Issues Only.” Child filters inherit parent criteria, so they narrow results precisely.

  • Auto Filters: Select a field like “Feature” or “Component,” and PractiTest automatically creates sub-filters for each value. Perfect for organizing large test libraries.

Pin Your Favorites

Found a filter you use constantly? Click the three-dot menu → “Set as Favorites.” Your top filters appear in a dedicated Favorites section at the top of the filter tree for instant access. You can pin up to 15 filters.
