Filtering activities

The Gantt chart provides several tools that allow filtering of the displayed activities.

These filters help focus on a specific part of the schedule and facilitate the analysis of projects containing a large number of activities.

Several types of filters are available:

• area filtering
• time-based filtering
• advanced filters based on conditions

The Area filter allows displaying only the activities associated with a specific project area.

To use this filter:

1. enable the Area Filter option
2. select the desired area from the list

Only the activities belonging to this area will then be displayed in the Gantt chart.

This filter is a quick shortcut allowing a work area to be isolated without having to configure a more complex filter.

Time filtering allows displaying only the activities present within a given period.

To use this filter:

1. define a start date
2. define a finish date

Four filtering modes are available:

• Start: displays activities starting after the selected date.
• Finish: displays activities finishing before the selected date.
• Between: displays activities intersecting the selected period.
• Strict: displays only activities fully contained within the selected period.

This filter can be used, for example, to analyse:

• activities planned during a specific project phase
• work scheduled during a given period
• activities in progress at a given date

The advanced filter allows the creation of custom filters based on different activity fields.

Filters can be defined using:

• duration
• description
• dates
• quantities
• or any other project field

Each condition includes:

• a field
• a condition (>, <, =, contains, etc.)
• a value

Conditions can be combined using the operators:

• AND
• OR

This allows the creation of more precise filters.

For example:

• display activities where duration is greater than 0
• filter activities belonging to multiple criteria

The applied conditions are displayed in the lower part of the window.

Filters simplify the reading of the schedule and improve data analysis.

They are particularly useful for:

• analysing a specific project zone
• studying a time phase
• isolating certain activity categories
• working with complex schedules

Filters can be activated or deactivated at any time to return to the full schedule display.
