Conditional View in Branch-Explorer

There should be user defined views for the Branch-Explorer. Much like the coditional format thing.

You add some rules (more than one possible) to a view on which branches you want to see in that view. Maybe these views should be serverwide and not bound to a single user.

In the Branch-Explorer you can select a view and see all branches matching the defined rules for this view.

This is a extension to you branch visibility system. But with multiple definitions to easily switch between them.

    Wait wait wait!
    inclusion and exclusion rules are great! BUT These aren't what this uservoice was about!

    I need to have more than one "view" in the branch Explorer.
    This is what I was dreaming of:
    To be able to group inclusion or format rules together to get a custom view.
    Then there should be a Combobox with all defined views to select from.
    This way it's easy to show or hide the right branches in an easy way.

    Example:
    We use an attribute 'Assignee' to assign a branch to a dev.
    So I have an inclusion rule "Attribute='Assignee' and AttrValue like '%buchfink%'".
    This works very well =)

    But if other devs want me to have a look at their branches, I first need to add a new inclusion rule for their branches. And delete this new rule afterwards.

    This isn't very smooth, don't you think, too?!

    Ideally the conditions would allow wild cards and/or regular expressions (also useful for the search box) eg. name="project-x-*".

    Visibility mode isn't really practical when you have hundreds of branches

    Just to have it here too:

    I think it would be good if the conditions are the same as the format rule conditions. Like 'owner="XXX"'or 'name="main"'.

    Maybe even 'owner=me' where 'me' is a variable with the current user name!?

    Or with acces on custom properties which each branch may has assigned: 'property[XYZ]="XXX"' or something like this.

    This would add great value to the branch-explorer since it's such a great tool but you need to change the "view" sometimes depending on what you are working at or what you are searching for...
