Group List Data

The format of the display of records can be changed so that records with attribute values in common are grouped together. For example, records can be grouped according to their Description or Tag Number.

A grouping panel is displayed above the column headings if the grouping facility is turned on.

If not, to activate the facility, check the Grouping Panel checkbox in the Grid Options group of the View tab, or right-click on the list and select the Grouping Panel option from the menu that is then displayed.

To group data, drag and drop the column heading of the attribute in question into the grouping panel.

The list then changes to display the name of each group in the following format:

<Attribute Name>: <Attribute Value> <(Number of records in the group)>

The name of the column that records are grouped by is displayed in the grouping panel.

To view the records within a group, click on the "+" button next to the group name. The records are then listed under the name. Press the "-" button to close the list.

Note:
The fields within a group can be fixed, sorted, moved and filtered in the normal way.
