Hello Miriam, Have you tried setting up these Advanced Filter rules: (IsProject) OR TopLevelProjectName is empty ?
The second part of that should show you everything which isn't in a project. To get what you want, though, you might want to change that second part to (TopLevelProjectName is empty AND ActiveAction is true). To get them evaluated together (ie like I've shown them in brackets, so that the ActiveAction status only applies to those not in a Project) you'll have to set those two up as sub-rules. Hope that makes sense, Stéphane On Tuesday, 1 May 2018 07:39:53 UTC+1, Miriam Huber wrote: > I‘m having trouble with adjusting the view filters.
