## Filter options (tasks)

These options are available in the following modules:

| **Module** | **Show basic tasks (filters don't apply)** | **Show all children tasks in results** | **Hide parent tasks in the results** | **Apply filters to all modules** | **Clear all active filters** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

### Show basic tasks (filters don't apply)

When the “Show basic tasks (filters don't apply)” option is selected, all the basic tasks are displayed —even those that don't match the filter criteria.

### Show all children tasks in results

When this checkbox is checked, the filtered tasks (the ones that meet filtering criteria) are displayed along with their child tasks and any lower-level ones (that do not meet filtering criteria).

### Hide parent tasks in the results

When parent tasks are **NOT** hidden, the results contain:

- the tasks that match the search conditions
- greyed out parent tasks of the matches

When you select the "Hide parent tasks in results" checkbox, the parent tasks (greyed-out) are **NOT** displayed.

**Note**: Task tree structure changes (move up, move down, indent, outdent, drag-and-drop) are unavailable when the "Hide parent tasks in results" checkbox is selected.

### Apply active filters to all modules

Filters apply to the module you are in. Use this option to apply all the current filters to all available modules.

**Note:** The "Apply active filters to all modules" option applies the filters to all the modules, even those for which these filters can **NOT** be used directly. For example, dates can be applied in the Gantt module but not in the Scope module.

Filters are applied by module; therefore, there are two ways of clearing them once they were used to all modules by the "Apply active filters to all modules":

- [Clear all active filters in each module](#)
- > Macro (anchor)

Clear all active filters in a module you're in, and use "Apply active filters to all modules" to clear the filters everywhere else.

### Clear all active filters

This option clears all active filters in a current module.

## Filter options (boxes)
