Session filters

Applying filters to the collection of available sessions/reports in a project

Once you log into your BetterBugs.io account and open a project, you get the "Search your sessions…." box to search through the logged bug reports or sessions.

For filtering out reports, you’ll find a “Filters” button under the search box with various filter value options.

Session Filter Options

Here’s a table summarizing the available filters:

Filter Name	Description	Available Values
Priority	Filter reports based on assigned priority levels. By default, every report you create gets marked with a “Medium” priority level which you can change while adding details to it.	Urgent, High, Medium, Low
Status	Filter sessions for the reports based on status. The session gets auto-marked as "Open" when you capture a screenshot/video. This can be later updated to In Progress or Closed after the session is uploaded to your BetterBugs.io account. Then, you can filter the results based on status.	Open, In Progress, Closed
Creator	Filter sessions for the reports based on the person who created them.	List of all issue creators for the project reports
Assignees	Filter sessions based on the assignees for the reports	List of all assignees for the project reports
Tags	Filter sessions for the project based on the tags attached to it.	List of custom tags added for the project
Integrations	Filter sessions based on the project management tools, issue trackers, or communication tools they’ve been shared with.	Asana, Azure Boards, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Linear, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Trello
Date Range	Filter sessions for the desired date range.	Start date - End date
Archived sessions	Filter sessions that have been archived for the project.	Archived only

How to Use Session Filters

Using session filters is straightforward:

Steps for Using Session Filters

1

Open Project

Open a project from your BetterBugs.io workspace

2

Click the "Filters" Button

Click the “Filters” button under the “Search your session…” box

3

Select Your Filter(s)

Select your filter(s) and add the desired values for each. For instance, let's set the “Priority” to “Medium” and “Status” to “Open”.

You’re good to go.

This gives you all the reports that match these two selections together. Your filters be visible beside the “Filters” button with the desired selection. For the given example, you’ll see the “Priority Is Medium” and “Status Is Open” getting displayed.

You can also toggle the “Is” to “Is Not” to tweak the logical combination for filtering the reports. To toggle it, just press the “Is” (and vice versa) text sitting between the filter name and value.

Toggle Filter Logic: Is/Is Not

Clear Filters

To remove all filters for sessions, you have the “Clear all” option on the right-hand side.

You can also add one or more values for a specific filter allowing you to fine-tune your filters required. For instance, you can select one or more “Priority” (or any other filter) levels for your reports.

Here's how it works:

Steps for Adding Multiple Values for the Same Filter

For the example shown above
