Make projects easily selectable in top left drop-down box

Hi,

In my organization there is an increasingly large number of projects/sub-projects to manage, and the projects list in the top-left menu is getting huge, making it very difficult to find the appropriate project within that long list.

Would it be possible to change the object type for this selection box to some object where we can type in the first few letters of the project we want to select ? (for example, the same object used for the "type" filter in most views)

Thanks!

1) Yes, I admit, it is mainly for admin - meaning myself...
Managers are restricted to their own projects, as you suggest.

2) Hmm, ok, I understand the problem of losing the WBS indentation... I guess we'll see, if by any chance I have a great idea some day I'll be sure to contribute it!

hello,

I have the same issue, i manage a services center, and had 50 to 80 project in same time. most of project manager view only 10 project, but me and project director is more difficult.

I have a proposition, the use case could be :
I arrived on today screen with no project selection
I click on project in the menu, and find the right one
I select the finding project
And on the detail form, i can click on a button (or another object); and this button set the top filter combo.
And now i can navigate on all object for the project !!

you understood ?

Regards

Can also reflect this... probably some tidying up work could be done by me but how ours is structured:


PRODUCT 1

> CLIENT
>> Client Phase 1
>> Client Change Request 1


PRODUCT 2

> CLIENT
>> Client Phase 1
>> Client Change Request 1


PRODUCT 1 currently has about 60-70 clients (projects), most of them with phases. The entire team is affected to the PRODUCT project to ensure they can be selected on the sub projects easier.

Does mean the whole team can see the lot though.
