Custom Views and Tables in Project Pro

[Wegz]

Hi.

I am currently implementing EPM into my organisation but this question
is purely in the Microsoft Project Pro 2003 SP1 arena.

I am developing a template that people will use to input all the
necessary information when creating a new project and I am having some
issues with customising the views I want need.

I would love to make it a four step process where people go to the
first screen to input task names, durations and relationships. I also
have a customised field to identify if a particular task is a "work
package" or not. I wanted the next view/table in the process to only
show those tasks that I have identified as work packages but I cant
seem to find anywhere in the new view options that allow this.

I have created a new table that shows only the fields I want for the
second view (one of those being the work package field) and then when I
create a new view I select this new table as the basis... None of the
filtering options allow me to choose a custom variable, only things
like "all tasks" or new tasks etc....

Is there anyway I can get this view to only show those tasks where
"work package" is yes???

Thanks for anyone(s) help.

You need to create a custom Filter to filter on your custom Work Package
field. To create a custom Filter, click Project - Filterered For - More
Filters, and then click the New button. Remember that in Microsoft Project,
a View is defined as follows:

View = Table + Filter + Group + Screen

Hope this helps.
