Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Dominic

You can also filter on the task title by typing *laster* which will then pick up Plasterer - Plastering etc with or without capitals.

You can then add a code to the filter if you wish.

Best regards

Hi Dominic,

If you set up your project using the default template, you may already have the filter setup for this.  Go to View > Filter > Codes > Which Code? [asks for a code(s)].  You can then chose the trades contractor code library from the list.

If you used a different template without the filters pre-installed, you'll need to create the filter from scratch by going View > Filter > New... and following the wizard.  Check the Help File for more details or contact your local Asta Powerproject support team.  You can then save that as a default filter for a certain view etc.

In v14.0.02 we may filtering by code library even easier - you can now just double-click the name of the code in the project viewer to enable a code library filter of the tasks in the current view(called a Code Breakdown Structure).  This mirrors the functionality we've had for Resource Breakdown Structures since v12.

Hope that helps,

Ben @ Asta Powerproject
