There are multiple ways to view projects and search for specific ones in Project Explorer.
You can view up to 500 projects per page via the dropdown menu in the bottom right corner of the interface. Pagination controls display along the bottom.
View
Click the View button on the ribbon to change whether you want to view active projects, archived projects, or my projects (projects that have been assigned to you).
Layouts
You can change what fields are displayed in the grid via the Layouts tab. There are some preset layout buttons, and you can create your own Custom Layouts. Each layout has specific columns.
Although you can resize and move columns, your changes will not be saved for the next use.
Custom layouts are the only way to get the exact look you want each time you open the Project Explorer.
Search Field
You can use the Search field to filter your projects by a text string.
Column Filter
Most columns in the grid have a filter button to narrow your results.
Some columns have additional filters.
Column filters only work on a per-page basis. For example, if you have three pages of data and apply a column filter, it only applies to the current page.
To filter all data, regardless of the page you're on, use the Search field or Quick filter.
Quick Filter
There is also a Quick filter to help you filter your projects. The Quick filter is available on every tab of the Project Explorer.
