The project list displays all projects created in your organisation. Four views are available to use so you can see key information at a glance and the list can be sorted by clicking on a column heading.
Refine the project list to easily find projects by using the project list filter options. Selected filter options can be saved so you can access them later. You can also create and save a default filter that will be applied each time you use the project list.
