Ad-Hoc List Filtering and Shareable Results Without View Creation

Problem Statement
Today, when users need to analyze a specific set of entities in Targetprocess (for example, 50 Feature IDs, a collection of User Stories, or stories created today), they typically must:

  • Create a new List View, or
  • Have knowledge of advanced filter syntax (such as IN statements) on existing views, and
  • Configure and manage sharing permissions for others to access the same results.

This process adds unnecessary overhead for what is often a temporary or one-time analysis request.

 

Proposed Solution
Introduce a low-code/no-code ad-hoc filtering experience that allows users to:

  • Select a common entity type (Features, User Stories, Bugs, etc.)
  • Paste a list of IDs or apply simple filters (Created Today, Assigned To, Tags, Teams, etc.)
  • Instantly generate filtered results without creating a new view
  • Share the results via a generated URL that reproduces the same filter criteria for other users

Benefits

  • Eliminates the need to create and maintain temporary views
  • Reduces dependency on advanced query knowledge
  • Speeds up investigations, reporting, and operational analysis
  • Simplifies collaboration through shareable URLs
  • Reduces view clutter and governance overhead from one-off views
  • Enables business users to self-serve common analysis needs

Example Use Cases

  • Review 50 Feature IDs related to an incident or release
  • Share a filtered backlog with stakeholders during a meeting
  • Quickly investigate entities provided from external systems, reports, or support requests

Expected Outcome
Users can perform rapid, ad-hoc analysis and share results instantly, improving productivity and collaboration while reducing the need for dedicated view creation and administration.
