How to create an icon on the toolbar to filter % complete

[Majid]

at present, i have created %complete field in "entry" view table and
everytime I can filter the field. The problem is when I am on different view
table I do not have this option and have to go back to the entry view table
to filter the tasks. I was wondering if I can have the icon on the toolbar
so that I can filter at all time
Thank you for your advice

Hi Majid,

Are you using AutoFilters to filter? If you are using Autofilter (the
funnel button on the toolbar) you do need to have the % complete field in the
view.
If you have created a "regular" filter, you should be able to filter on the
field, even if it is not in the current table. The only other reason I can
come up with is that the filter you created was a task filter and you are
switching to a resource view.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi Julie,
Thanks for your advice.
Yes, I am using AutoFilter to filter. I would like to see the 0% complete
as well as %100 complete in the view so that we can filter projects in one
step and from any view table.
Please advise
Regards,
Majid

Hi Majid,

You will need to create a filter (not use AutoFilter) to do this.

Choose Project > Filtered For > More Filters....
Click the New... button.
Name the filter and click Show in Menu.
Set the first row of the filter to:
Field Name: % Complete
Test: equals
Value: 100%

Set the second row of the filter to:
OR
Field Name: % Complete
Test: Equals
Value: 0%

If you want to see summary rows, click Show related summary rows.
Click OK.

To run the filter, click the filter drop-down list in the Formatting Toolbar
and select the filter. This will allow you to run the filter from any
*Task* view
and show only those tasks which are 100% complete or 0% complete.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
