Filtering

[Modern Talking]

For instance,
I have filter TASK(X) where x is from 1-10, and
I have filter TASK(Y) where y is from 1-50,

Normally, when I click Project...Filtered For... I see all these TASK(X) and
TASK(Y) filters individually,
However, i want to be able to consolidate TASK(X) under NAMEX, and then when
i click Project....Filtered For...NAMEX, I will see my TASK(X) where x is
from 1-10 under NAMEX...

Do you know of a way to do that?

Thanks

Task ID numbers will change as you add new task. So filtering on task ID may
not be a good idea. I would use one of the 30 text fields to add a "code"
that allows you to filter. TEXT1 = A or TEXT1 = B............
Hope this helps.

Here is another way of explaining it.
In windows XP, when you click start (lower left)...you will see PROGRAMS
and with a little right arrow...when you click on PROGRAMS it will then take
you to several programs like Accessories etc.

This is exactly the visuality I want. if we regard the PROGRAMS as my project
name then the programs would be my filters...

So, I want to click on my project name then see my filters rather than
seeing all the filters at the same time by clicking PROJECT...FILTERED FOR...

I thought this might explain things better.

Cheers,

The only other thing you can do is set up a view with a filter assigned.
View>More Views>New: Here you can assign a filter you have set up and table.
To set up a table (a table is nothing more than the columns you want to see)
go to VIEW>TABLES>MORE TABLES>NEW.
When you add a new view you can tell it to show up in the dropdown or not.
Hope this helps.
