Group by Columns in Topics

The Group by Columns tool helps you organize topics in the way that is most relevant for your analysis.

By grouping topics, you can quickly review and monitor information such as deadlines, responsible users, types, or priority levels – making project tracking more efficient.

1.     How to Group Topics

a.     In the Topic List, select the column header you want to use for grouping (e.g., Priority, Status, Assigned to)

b.     Drag the column header to the grouping bar (area labeled “Drag a column header and drop it here to group by that column”)

c.     The list will automatically reorganize into a hierarchical structure based on your grouping.

2.     Working with Groups

·        Each group root displays the column value with the number of topics in parentheses

·        You can expand or collapse groups for easier navigation

·        Sorting is available within each group, allowing you to refine the order of displayed topics

3.     Creating Subgroups

·        You can drag and drop additional column headers to create subgroups

·        Subgroups nest inside groups, giving you more advanced organization (e.g., group by Priority first, then by Assigned To within each priority level)
