Project Planning and Scheduling Using Primavera Version 4.1: For Engineering & Construction and Maintenance & Turnaround

This chapter covers the ability of Primavera Version4.1 to control which activities are displayed, both on the screen and in printouts, by using Filters.
Primavera Version 4.1 has an ability to display activities that meet specific criteria. Youmay want to see only the incomplete Activities, or the work scheduled for the next couple ofmonths, or the Activities that are in progress.
Primavera Version 4.1 defaults to displaying all activities. It has a number of pre-definedfilters available that you may use or edit. You may also create one or more of your own.
A filter may be applied to display or to highlight only those activities that meet acriteria.
There are three types of filters:
Default filters which are supplied with the system and maynot be edited or deleted but may be copied and then edited or modified.
Global filters which are made available to anyone working inthe database, and
User-Defined filters which are defined by a user andavailable only to that user unless made a Global filter.
Drop down or Auto filters as in Excel and Microsoft Project are not available.
