To do this, drag the selected column header and place it in between the toolbar and the table (see above). You will then be able to group by that column. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/group by gif.gif) > **Note: Alternatively, you can right-click a column heading and select Group By This Column.** **![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/537da256-98e8-4e17-bace-4db25ed08586.png)** You can group by more than one column. To do this, simply drag another column to the panel. For instance, you can group by **Status** and then **Area**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/7ffef763-f9db-4513-b095-d2bb8a76ec6b.png) When you group by a column, each unique entry in the column will have its own group. For example, in the **Status** column, there are eight unique entries. Each entry will be given its own group as shown below. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/bdd0d27a-48e5-409e-8314-c7e2da041925.png) Click on a group to expand it and see the content within this group. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/9b9d5f78-6132-4a6c-8fa3-c5481f01a5f0.png) Expanding the **Awaiting Handover** group will display all scaffolds with the status set to **Awaiting Handover**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/0606a75d-46f8-4a91-afc6-cebca72f4c18.png) By right-clicking on the grouped column you can modify how the information is displayed in the table below. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/03820c1a-0276-4127-b68d-19c238db9cd1.png) **Full Expand** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/e9f88de2-6705-4f68-add7-b6839d5d0b6c.png) Expand all entries in the table to show further information for each group. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/010722e8-6bce-4104-81b3-172ce80737ad.png) **Full Collapse** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/95edb764-925a-47dc-a53b-39a16a596ebd.png) Collapse all groups in the table. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/bdd0d27a-48e5-409e-8314-c7e2da041925.png) **Sort** **Ascending** **![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/257c1797-616c-4a95-a8b1-0ed659aecdc2.png)** Sort the groups in ascending order either alphabetically or numerically. **Sort** **Descending** **![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/9cbe4636-a6af-4052-9aaa-e787fd12eaab.png)** Sort the groups in descending order either alphabetically or numerically. **Clear** **Sorting** Clear any column sorting currently active. **Sort by Summary** **![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/d71721bb-048d-4238-a16a-ee78afbd7630.png)** A summary is a brief overview of what content is held within that group. This summary contains information about that group such as the number of rows within that group and the maximum or minimum entry in a group from a selected column. For example, when grouping by **Status**, you could select to display information from the **Requestor** column for each group. The summary would then provide an overview of the data pulled from the **Requestor** column including the number of entries in each group and the minimum and/or maximum status of each group. > **Note: To Sort by Summary, enable the Group Summary Editor (see below).** **![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/d452b56f-158c-4443-b3f5-ce9e78c889b0.png)** **Group Summary Editor** **![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/6f1c6490-4c20-4bc2-869f-0b8ef9782496.png)** When grouping, this option allows the user to adjust what is displayed in the group summary, such as the maximum and minimum value within that group and the number of rows within the group. To the left-hand side are the columns and to the right are the summary options. Select a column on the left and this will be the column where the information is pulled from. Selecting **Max** and **Min** will enable **Max by – Ascending**, **Max by - Descending**, **Min By – Ascending**, and **Min by – Descending** summary options for the chosen column. In the example below, the maximum and minimum **Requestor** of the group will be displayed for each group. Click the **Show row count** to enable a count for the number of rows within the group. **![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/1b6b3054-c722-4c4a-af91-f3d5d1abdf35.png)** Click **OK** and the table will display the summary of each group detailing the maximum or minimum **Requestor** for that group. > **Note: The Max by 'Requestor' summary options will change depending upon the selected column. For example, selecting Status in the Group Summary Editor will set the summary option to Max by Status.** **Note: You can also summarise the average and the sum of a column in each group.** **Order** The **Order** tab of the **Group** **Summary** **Editor** allows the user to modify how the summary is presented. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/0097dc8f-3690-412a-8668-bfb3f8615905.png) The box below lists the columns you selected in the **Items** tab.
