Outline filter help

[Nathan]

Hi all,

I've been lurking for a few days, nice to see such a supportive community.

My question is:

I'm trying to set up a filter for my main outline view. I want to see the uncompleted tasks and also the completed tasks that belong to uncompleted projects. (To have a better overview of the overall progress.)

I've been experimenting with advanced filters, and it seems given that one half of an OR will have to be (not(Complete)) to capture all the uncompleted tasks, but I'm struggling with the other half. I've tried (IsProject) or (ProjectName is not empty) or (TopLevelProjectName is not empty), but they always show all completed tasks even if they don't belong under a project.

It seems that whatever I set in the Show/Hide completed menu in the General section will overwrite the advanced filters. (Or I'm approaching it wrong.)

Can someone please help? :)

Update: I think I might have found a working solution by using the above mentioned  (not(Complete)) OR (ProjectName is not empty) advanced filter, but unticking child items under General > Hierarchy Configuration. (So now they are only included if they actually match the filter! 💡)
