Chapter 12: Filters and Layouts

Overview

This section is designed to make you aware of the software s ability to control the presentation of information, both on the screen, and in printouts, by using Filters and Layouts.

Filters allow you to select which activities are displayed. You should use a filter when you wish to work with a small group of activities that meet a specific criteria for performing any scheduling function, such as adding logic or analyzing resources.

The name of the current Layout and Filter is always displayed at the bottom of the screen in the status bar.
