Display Project Plan Data Using Views › Apply Filters to Views

Apply Filters to Views

You can refine the content of a view by selecting and applying filtering criteria that defines what project, task, or resource information to display. The remaining project information is hidden so that you see only the project data you want to see. You can apply filters to any spreadsheet view, but not to a CPM view.

You can create filters that are part of a view definition or applied separately from a view. When you define a filter in the View Definition dialog box, it is considered to be part of the view's definition and is applied to projects every time you apply the view. If you create a separate filter, you can add it to your library and apply it to any open project. Later, you can remove these filters from the view.

You can apply filters to views that include the filtering criteria and that are not CPM views.

To apply a filter to a view

1. Select Manage Library from the View group in the Project ribbon.

   The Libraries dialog box opens.

2. In the Favorites folder, select your filter, and click Apply.

   The filter is applied to the view.
