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. 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, it is considered to be part of the view's definition. This filter is applied to projects every time you apply the view. If you create a separate filter, you can add it to your library and can 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. The following procedure explains how to apply a filter to a view.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Project ribbon.
2. Click Manage Library in the View group.
3. Select your filter in the Favorites folder, and click Apply.
