Working with FiltersApply filters to large tables or complex pages in the application so their complexity and time to display are reduced. For example, rather than displaying all activities for all resources from all projects, likely to result in an unmanageable volume of data, you might filter the Activities page to display only the activities assigned to you from a single project. In this example, your filter criteria include an identifier for the single project and an identifier for you. Some pages feature basic filter options while others handle the most advanced logical parameters. Applied alone or in combination, filters represent a powerful tool for managing vast amounts of data. Basic Filters The application presents simple filters you can apply to refine the data displayed. Basic filters do not require you to define very detailed parameters. Table of Basic Filter Elements
Advanced Filters You can create advanced filters to control with pinpoint accuracy the data displayed. Advanced filters enable you to define what some users might perceive as complicated logical parameters. Example: A project manager for Product Release Y is tasked with assigning resources to all non-Red Priority activities. She wants to examine all of John Brunner's assignments to see if he is available to assign to other activities that have not yet started and do not yet have resources assigned to them. Her filter criteria is demonstrated below:
The PM applies both her own user filter and the standard Not started activities only filter to view activities matching either set of criteria in order to cast a wider net and review the results. Table of Advanced Filter Elements
