Filter using a text field

Question:     

Let’s say I import my entire schedule from Project.  Can I filter on a value in one of my columns so that only the tasks I want are displayed?  I need to switch between views of 4 different teams without have to do the import separately for each team.

 

Answer:

This is easy by using the Filter Tool.

First select a column on the Milestones Schedule.  Then:

  1. Choose Filter Task Rows on the Tools tab.

  2. Choose Column Text Containing... from the list

  3. On the first row of the Column Text Filter Selection form, choose Includes: and enter the text, for example Alpha.

  4. Click OK.  Save the filter.
