Specific viewing filter for a specific project

Is there anyway to ensure a specific viewing filter (the eyeball one) can used for one specific project task list?

I have set the tasks up as a FAQs and is open to everyone in the company to view - but it will only work if the viewing filter is set to the one I have created.

 

Thank you!

In short, no there is not. Workfront will remember the last view the user used and try to use that first.

However, you can always create a task report that shows the tasks in the target project and use the desired view as a default.

TIP: if this solved your problem, I invite you to consider marking it as a Correct Answer to help others who might also find it of use.

Hi @abellewoo - You can default a specific view on project task lists through a layout template. On the layout template, go to Lists > Tasks and then add the View and Set as Default. Hope this helps!

That would apply to every project, not just the specific project the OP is referring to.

Thanks! Scanned it too quickly for the "one project" mention 🙂
