Resource Views show resources from ALL open projects by default

Our users are finding it confusing to have the *combined*
resource list shown on the resource sheet,etc for each
open project. If you filter on "Project Team" you get the
desired behavior. But, the filter is not saved between
sessions.

How do we make showing only the Project Team for the
current active project when multiple projects are open as
the default behavior for all users?

First of all the Resource Sheet and Resource Usage View
are local views by default. If I modify them in the
enterprise global then they migrate to the global and
users can no longer customize them.

We do happen to have an enterprise global resource sheet
that we've created. I set the filter in that view - saved
the global - exited and re-launched Project
Professional. "All Resources" was selected on our Global
Resource sheet - versus "Project Team" (which I had just
saved).

Here's how to solve your problem:

1. Open the Enterprise Global
2. Click View - More Views...
3. Select the special Resource Sheet view that you created, then click
Edit...
4. In the View Definition dialog box for this view, set the Filter to your
Project Team filter
5. Click OK, then click Close
6. Save and close the Enterprise Global
7. Close Microsoft Project 2002

When you reopen Microsoft Project 2002, open any project and apply your
special Resource Sheet view. You will find that the "Project Team" filter
is applied immediately, rather than the "All Resources" filter. Hope this
helps.

Dale,

Thank-you. Thank-you.

I've been involved in other things and just got back to
this issue. The steps you posted worked perfectly.
