Project scope

Switch between projects on the Logs surface without losing your tab context.

Project scope

If your org has multiple projects, the SCOPE chip at the top right of every Logs page controls which one you are looking at.

How to switch

Click the SCOPE chip. A dropdown opens listing every project in your org, with the current one highlighted in orange. Pick another and the page reloads with that project's data.

The chip lives on:

  • The search page
  • The datasets index and detail pages
  • The actor profile page

Wherever you are on Logs, the picker is always in the same place: top right of the breadcrumb row.

What gets preserved across the switch

On the search page: the time range preference is preserved (so if you had LAST 7D selected, the new project loads with 7D too). The query (q=), the saved-query selection (saved=), and the live tail state are all cleared. The reason: a query that referenced actor:"player:CharlesSmith" on project A is meaningless against project B's events.

On the datasets pages: just the project changes. The current tab (index or detail) stays where you were if the destination exists. If you were on a dataset detail page and switch projects, you bounce back to the dataset index because the same dataset name probably does not exist in the other project.

On the actor profile page: similar to dataset detail, you bounce back to the project's main Logs page because the actor identifier is unlikely to exist there too.

How the sub-nav handles it

The Logs sub-nav (Search & live tail / Datasets / Dashboards / Alerts / Exports) also threads the project slug through. Clicking from Search to Datasets keeps the project selection. You will not silently land on a different project just because you clicked a tab.

Single-project orgs

If your org has only one project, the SCOPE chip renders as a static label (no dropdown chrome, no chevron). There is nothing to switch to so the picker would be misleading.

Why "scope" not "project"

The Media page uses the same pattern with the same label, and other product surfaces (Cases, Apps) will too. "Scope" is the consistent term across the dashboard for "which slice of your org am I currently looking at".

URL form

The active project is in the URL as ?project=<slug>. You can paste a URL with a ?project=other-slug parameter and land directly on that project's view (subject to your permissions). If you paste a slug you do not have access to, the dashboard silently canonicalises to your first available project rather than erroring.
