filter 'Task name' shows all tasks

Intruder · #1 02-01-2014, 09:02 AM

when using the filter on top of the task name field, alls tasks, including recurring or sub-tasks are shown.
Is there a way only 1 task name will be shown rather than all ? picture attached

thanx

It appears as thought you have named all your tasks with the same name? If so, filtering is on the Name field is not going to work. Insert one of the Flag fields, set the flag to Yes and filter on that.

the attatched picture shows differen studies, e.g. OFT, RR, with some sub-tasks having the same names, often called RR1, RR2,...
Can I, one way or the other, have a list displayed with just the titles of the summary field names alone, meaning:
RR
OFT
rather than
RR
RR
RR
OFT
OFT
OFT
RR
RR
RR

Apply the built in Summary tasks filter.

Great. If it doesn't work - post back and we can walk through creating the filter from scratch
