Before you can get a good forecast of your project schedule, you need to add durations to all the tasks in your task list. After watching this video, you will be able to filter a task list to show all the tasks that still have estimated durations in Project.
- [Bonnie] Hi, I'm Bonnie Biafore. … When you create an auto-scheduled task in Project, … the program automatically adds … a question mark to the duration, … an indication that you haven't filled … in a duration for that task yet. … In this tip, I'll show you how to find … all the tasks with those question marks … so you can fill in the durations you've come up with. … So we're going to start by turning on the Project Summary task. … To do that, I'm going to head to the Format tab, … and I'm going to turn on the checkbox over … in the Show/Hide section on the right end of the ribbon. … When I turn that on, you'll see that the duration … has a question mark. … So that means that at least one task … in this project has an estimated duration. … What I'm going to do is I am going to turn … off the Project Summary task and the Summary tasks, … so I'm looking at all of my work tasks. … These are the ones where the question marks start. … To see these tasks, I'm going to go over … to the View tab and then head to the Data section. …
