Use the Filters dialog box to add, edit, apply, and remove filters for the current display. A filter is a set of instructions that determines which activities or projects display. You can apply a filter at any time to focus on specific areas of a project. For example, you might want to see only critical activities, activities that are underway, or completed activities.
Filters are categorized into four possible groups: Default, Global, Layout, and User-Defined Filters. Filters that are applied to a layout are saved with the layout. You can limit the number of filters in the global category by setting them as layout filters.
