Your welcome, and your understanding of the "Active" Action Filter is not correct. To borrow from MLO's Help, Filtering the To-Do List,
"To be placed on the list of Active actions a task should meet all criteria listed below: 1) task must not have subtasks or these subtasks should be completed 2) task must not have completed parent tasks 3) Start Date parameter for the task is not set or Start Date is today or in the past 4) task must not have the option Hide only this task in To-Do List checked 5) task must not have the option Hide branch in To-Do List checked for this task as well as for any of its parents 6) If one of the task's parents has the option Complete subtasks in order checked, this task must have all above siblings completed to be placed to the list. Or these siblings might have Hide in To-Do option set." You can also find the definitions of the other 4 Action Filters (Available, Next Actions, Completed, All) there as well. The idea of the Active Action Filter is to only present in the To-Do view those actions that can be acted upon right now. If a task has a Start Date of tomorrow or later, the user has decided that he/she doesn't want to be reminded of that particular task until that designated start date. Thus, it is not an "active" task yet. Or, if a task has a predecessor task that must be completed before it can be begun, then that task will not be an "active" task until its predecessor task has been completed. The Active Action Filter is very useful for presenting only those items that are currently actionable. If you need a different view of your tasks, you should investigate the other Action Filters to see if they might meet your needs.
