Is there a text mode (for a project report) that will show you the next task ready to worked on?

I have a text mode that will show you all remaining incomplete tasks, but it can be cluttered when the project is still in early stages.

Hi @christinajay 

a task has an attribute canStart that signals it's ready to be worked on (ie, the predecessor is complete)

 

On the project task pane, there is a filter "Can Start" 

 

Is that what you mean?

displayname=Incomplete Task(s) Ready to Work
listdelimiter=<br>&bull;&nbsp;
listmethod=nested(tasks).lists
type=iterate
valueexpression=IF({numberOfChildren}>0,"",IF({canStart},IF(ISBLANK({actualCompletionDate}),CONCAT({name}," due ",{plannedCompletionDate}),""),""))
valueformat=HTML

To expand on @rick_macduffie's solution, I use this one:

displayname=Active Task listdelimiter=<hr> listmethod=nested(tasks).lists styledef.case.0.comparison.icon=false styledef.case.0.comparison.leftmethod=ID styledef.case.0.comparison.lefttext=ID styledef.case.0.comparison.operator=notblank styledef.case.0.comparison.operatortype=string styledef.case.0.comparison.righttext= styledef.case.0.comparison.trueproperty.0.name=bgcolor styledef.case.0.comparison.trueproperty.0.value=F5FCF7 styledef.case.0.comparison.truetext= textmode=true type=iterate valueexpression=IF({numberOfChildren}=0,IF({canStart},IF({status}="CPL"||{status}="FLG","",CONCAT({taskNumber},") ",{name}," ∆ ",{assignedTo}.{name}," ∆ ","Start: ",{plannedStartDate},"…","Due: ",{plannedCompletionDate})))) valueformat=HTML
