Managing favorites
A favorite enables you to save a set of filters, to reuse them later. A favorite keeps track of applied filters, activated display options and the menu or the view in which the favorite was saved. However, the displayed timeline is not saved with the favorite, as only the timeline that was previously displayed is saved.
Example
You save your favorite in a calendar displayed over 4 months, from September to December 2020. When displaying this favorite, you select a new timeline — from January to April 2021. If you change the view or display another favorite and then display that favorite again, the last timeline will be used — from January to April 2021.
Favorites can be accessed in two ways:
- From the drop-down list
on the right side of filters. This list can be accessed from all menus in Project, but only favorites specific to a menu are displayed.
- The
Favorites menu on the left side of the screen. This menu helps quickly access some favorites. It contains favorites saved in the Schedule and Calendar menus.
When a favorite is created, the user becomes the owner of that favorite, meaning only that user can modify or delete it. When a user logs into Project, only his favorites are displayed. He cannot access favorites created by other users, unless he receives a link to a favorite.

A user who creates a favorite becomes its owner. The favorite is added to his list of favorites, and only that owner can modify or delete it. The other users will not be able to access the favorite, unless it is shared with them.
To share a favorite, select it, copy the URL in your browser and send it to the employee(s) of your choice.
When those other users get the URL, they can access the favorite as well as its filters and display options. A filter that was shared cannot be modified or deleted by other users. However, a user that does not own a shared favorite can duplicate it (see Duplicating a favorite), to retrieve its features and create a new favorite.

A favorite can be duplicated to quickly reuse its features:
- When a favorite is modified, the duplication enables you to keep the original favorite while creating the new one.
- When a favorite is shared, the duplication allows the other users to retrieve the features of the original favorite to create their own favorite.
1 | Choose the favorite you want to duplicate. |
2 | Make all necessary modification (the Name, the filters, etc.). |
3 | Click on |
The favorite is duplicated and the new favorite is directly displayed.

Important
Deleting a favorite cannot be reversed.
Choose the favorite of your choice, click on , then Delete and confirm the deletion.
