How to use filters in Beesbusy (step-by-step guide)

How to access the filters?

Filters allow you to customize your view, displaying only certain tasks according to different selection criteria.

Filters are available in project views (What, When and Who) and in multi-project views (Planning, Gantt and Calendars).

Click on the “+ Filter” icon  in the top right of the various views:Entonnoir pour filtrer

This gives you access to the available filters, so you can view your projects as you wish. You can select multiple filters to refine your view.

Simple filters

You can filter on the following items:

List of item to be filtered on

Good to know: filters are saved when you navigate from one view to another, or when you quit the project and then come back to it.

Filters in the Multi-projects views (Schedule, Gantt, and Calendars)

When you arrive in one of the multi-project views, you can select one or more projects to display (if no project is selected). This allows you to have a more efficient display. You can then modify this selection with the filters.
