Filter Wizard - Logical Paths page
You use the Filter Wizard to create and edit the criteria of filters, which items must meet in order to be included in a filter. This page of the Filter Wizard appears if you have chosen to filter on the logical path of tasks. You use this page to specify the logical paths that you want to filter for. Asta Powerproject assigns a logical path number to each task when you reschedule a project. Tasks with lower logical path numbers are those on logical paths that contain the least amount of total float; the higher the logical path number, the more total float in the logical path. You may find it useful to monitor tasks that are on low-numbered logical paths, as these tasks are more likely to affect the project finish date if they are delayed.
