Microsoft Project - Filtering - Customising Filters

Customising Filters 

If none of the current filters meet your requirements then the current filters can be changed or  new filters can be set up to meet your requirements.

The only filter that cannot be changed is the Using Resource filter, the reason for this is the drop down list that comes from the resource sheet and is programmed in rather than by using the Customising filter facilities within Microsoft Project.

The options are: 

New – allows you to generate a totally new filter.

Edit – allows you to change an existing filter, normally where minor adjustments need to be made.  (If the changes were major then the name would probably need to be changed!)

Copy – takes a copy of an existing filter which can then be changed in the same way as editing a filter.
