Grouping query results in Explorers

You can change the organization of query results within an explorer. Each project, task, and change request has a set of properties, and you can use the grouping feature to organize query results to display in an explorer according to the properties that are most important to you. For example, if you have 20 assigned tasks, you might want to group tasks so that those with the highest priority are the most visible. Another useful grouping is to gather all recently created baselines by release so that you are up to date on the progress of a release. With change requests, you might be tracking all the submitted change requests from a particular client, and can quickly find them by grouping the query results by submitter.

Procedure

  1. In the Explorer toolbar, right-click over the appropriate query, click Group by, and choose the option that will group the query results the way you want.

    Alternatively, in the appropriate explorer, click the query whose content you want to reorganize. Click Group the results of the query icon and select one of the options.

    When you make a change, you modify the organization of the results for the query you have chosen.

  2. To make the same change to other queries or in a query in a different explorer, repeat step 1 above.
