Create PRINCE2 Project › Track a Project Task as a Product › Create Product Filters

Create Product Filters

From your tasks list, filter only on tasks that are labeled as "products" to create a Product Breakdown Structure. To do this, create a filter to display tasks labeled as "products" only.

Follow these steps:

1. Open your PRINCE2 project.

   The properties page appears.

2. Click Tasks.

   The list page appears.

3. Click the Expand Filter link.
4. In the Task Filter portlet, click the Build Power Filter link next to Power Filter.

   The filter page appears.

5. From the Object drop-down, click Task.

   The Field drop-down appears.

6. From the Field drop-down, click Product.

   The Operator and Constant fields appear.

7. For Operator, select "=," for Constant, select Yes, and click Add.

   The following expression is added in the Expression box:

   task.pr2_pbs == 1
   

8. Click Evaluate to evaluate the expression, and save.

   This saves the expression as a power filter, and the task list page appears.

9. Click the Save Filter option. Or, click Expand Filter to display this option.

   The save filter page appears.

10. Enter a desired name for the filter. Selecting the Default option renders the new filter as the default for the task list.

    The Filter drop-down on the Task Filter portlet now lists the newly created filter for 'product'. Select the filter to show only the tasks flagged as 'products'.
