Grouping the Custom list

Grouping is a very powerful feature of the Custom list.

To group the custom list by a certain column, first be sure the grouping area is showing. If not, click the "Group By Box" button from the Custom toolbar. The Grouping area shows just above the column headers.

Now, using the same process as in adding a new column, choose either an existing displayed column, or one from the Field Chooser to drag and drop a column to the Grouping area. Once you place a column here, you list will now be grouped by that column.

Hint: You can even add a secondary group column, and sort the columns ascending or descending. One particularly useful group setting to group by "Year", and then by "Month". Give it a try!

You may wish to remove a group setting. To do so, click and drag the column you wish to remove out of the Grouping area until you see the "No" cursor symbol as shown below. You can also remove grouped columns and place them immediately back on the column header area.
