## Overview

Power Admin for Jira has advanced searching capabilities. One such feature is the **Projects **filter, which allows you to search for configuration elements based on their usage in projects. You can find all configuration elements of a specific type (workflows, custom, fields, etc.) that are used in projects selected by you.

With the **Projects **filter,** **you can also search for configuration elements of a specific type that are not used in any project. For example, you can find all custom fields that are not used in the configuration of any project.

## How it works

On the *Search* page with results, you use the filter called **Projects**. You can choose between the options **None **and **Selected **in the filter itself.** **

With the** None** option, you can find all configuration elements that are not used in any project. 

With the** Selected **option**,** you can find all configuration elements that are used in selected Jira projects. 

### Selected projects

1. On Power Admin's** ***Home *page*,* select an object type and start searching.
2. On the *Search* *results* page, click on the **Projects** filter.
3. Select the **Selected** tab and choose one or more projects.
4. Click **Update**.

Power Admin finds and lists all objects used by the projects you’ve chosen.

The filter name changes from **Projects** to **Projects (count)**, where count indicates the number of selected projects.
