Filters not getting copied with Programs

I know its probably a bit late but is it not possible to make the user defined filter Global, carry it accross in your copy of the project, then copy and paste it back into the user defined section of the filters? This would prevent a huge build up of filters that arent applicable to different projects.

Ravi,



I don’t know if got this already:



The User field is available only if the selected Available to category is Another User.



Applied filters are saved with the layout.



Applied User Defined filters become available as Global filters when a layout is saved to All Users.



Project layouts are associated and available with the project. Save layouts as project layouts when you would like to limit the number of layouts in the global section or allow the layout to be exported with the project.

Hi Rav,



Filters are part of layout. The best way to do is to "Save As" the layout as available to "Project".



Now, everytime you will copy the Project and paste it in the same or different node the filters are also available.



Just try this.



HTH.

all,

I think this issue is due to the codes definition,

We all know the codes structrue has 3 levels, Global/EPS/Project

and if the codes you assigned to the activities is project level,

when you get another copy of the project, filter attached to the layout will be null,

in another word, if the codes you used in a filter is a global codes, wherever you copy, the filter will work ever.

Otherwise, I think the first step to resolve this problem is to check the codes definition, is it a project level or a global?

Hi Rav,



I am experimenting the same with my filters after I have made a copy.



FIRST: The copy of a project was done from one EPS node to another EPS node. Are you copying projects in the same EPS node ???



I am copying project from and to different node with following results:



- The name of the filter is copied without content.

- Layouts are copied and linked to the filters.

- Bar setting is copied but filters linked to bars are missed



Solution: I have been told by expert here. Define the filter and checked "filter name" at bar setting.



Cheers,

Hi Rav,



That is something strange in your program. Mine is working fine with no blank filters after copying. Sorry for I can’t give further advice as I find no other alternative after going through all the program settings. For the meantime, you may manually do settings of filters to get around along with the global option.



I hope experts in here may share their ideas so I may learn as well.



Cheers!

Dear Raviraj,



I’ve had some exercise figuring out for the solution to your query, but it seems there is nothing wrong with my program as it works fine copying all the details including the filters.



If that problem of yours persist, I suggest for you to go back to the original program and make your filters there to be global (make global). There is no doubt then that you won’t have it in the copied program or even in other programs.



Just trying to help.
