Apply a Filter

When you want to focus on a subset of the tasks or resources in the current view, you can apply a filter to the view, specifying that the filter show only those tasks or resources that meet the filter criteria. You can also have a filter highlight the filtered information in blue.

To have all tasks or resources reappear, you can turn off the filter, which removes the filtering effect from the view but leaves the filter itself in your project file.

To apply a filter

On the View Bar, click a view.
To select a view that doesn’t appear on the View Bar, click More Views , click the view you want in the Views list, and then click Apply.
On the Project menu, point to Filtered for, and then click the filter you want to apply.
To apply a filter that doesn’t appear on the Filtered for submenu or to apply a highlighting filter, click More Filters.
In the Filters list, click the filter you want.
Click Apply to apply the filter or click Highlight to apply a highlighting filter.
If you apply an interactive filter, type the requested values, and then click OK.

When you no longer need to see a subset of tasks or resources and want to see all of them again, you can turn the filter off.

To turn off a filter

On the Project menu, point to Filtered for, and then click All Tasks if a task filter is applied or All Resources if a resource filter is applied.
