Filtering for critical tasks

You can use the Filter Wizard to filter for tasks that have been marked as critical as a result of a reschedule.

To filter for critical tasks:

On the View tab, in the View Data group, click the Filter dropdown and select New. The Filter Properties dialog is displayed.
In the Identification group of fields, enter a name for the filter in the Name field and select the Display on menu check box if you want the filter to appear on the Filter dropdown in the View Data group on the View tab, making it easier to apply the filter. If you want to assign a category to the filter, select a filter category in the Category field. Categorising filters makes it easier to find the filter you are looking for, for example when selecting a filter to apply to the current view. Whenever you select a filter, they are arranged into their categories, with any filters that do not belong to a category being displayed below the filter categories that do exist.
Subheadings, which display the chart path of the filtered objects, are displayed in filtered views by default. Click Subheading Properties to display the Filter Subheading Properties dialog, in which you specify the appearance of the subheadings.
Click Insert to insert a new criterion into the filter. The Filter Wizard appears.
On the first screen of the Filter Wizard, select All task and allocation types then click Next.
On the second screen of the Filter Wizard, select the Float and criticality check box then click Next.
On the third screen of the Filter Wizard, select Show only critical tasks.
Click Finish to create the filter, which is then added to the list on the Filter Properties dialog.

When you apply this filter to a view, all the critical tasks and allocations in the whole project are displayed in the view.
