Windows App - tab for one project with all its subtasks, folders etc

[Robyn Webb]

Hi,
I have a project I'm starting with lots of tasks, groups of tasks etc.  I'd like to manage it in MLO.  So far, all I have seen in the views is groups/filters etc which give you all the tasks etc for the whole of MLO.

How do I create a tab, view/filter/whatever so I see only the task structure for my one project?

Thanks

First you have to set up the view with an appropriate filter - see the other thread. To create a new tab, look to the right of the tab bar and you'll see a little "+" button. To assign a view to that tab, simply open the views/filters pane (Alt-F1) and click on the view you want (or create a new view and filter - see the other thread). If you want to make that view the default for your tab, so you can always to back to it, right-click on the tab heading and select "set as default for this tab".

It can take a while to get your head around the idea of a filter being assigned to a view and then selecting a view for each tab.

Hope that helps,

Stéphane

Hi, Stéph and Robyn
In MLO, there are often many ways to do things. Here is a different
suggestion:

Use the procedure Stéph taught you to create a new tab. Then open the
view "all tasks". find the project entry you are interested in and click
on it so that it gets highlighted. Then press Ctrl/R (or use the menu
and select View>Zoom-In). This will zoom in to your project.

Advantage of this approach: It is faster and easier than setting up a
text filter to search for the project name. It's just a few clicks and
you are done.

Disadvantages:
1. The project item itself will be hidden which would not matter to a
lot of people but if you wanted to look at information about the project
itself, for example the progress bar, it could be a problem (but you
could solve it by making a folder with nothing in it but this project,
and then zooming to the folder.)

2. It's a lot less flexible. The filters that Stéph described can be
combined, so for example, you could make a view that showed projects A
and B plus any tasks from other projects that have a star and have not
been completed yet, plus any task that contains the word "blueprint",
bit not if the context is "*Someday"
