Frequently asked questions

The first question came from a conversation this month.

What is a filter group and how do I use it in a Grid View?

A filter group combines several conditions into one filter, for selections a single condition cannot express. Click Filter in the toolbar, add a Filter Group and place the conditions inside it. See Advanced Filtering Using Filter Groups for the combinations.

How many grouping levels can a Grid View have?

Up to 3. Each level nests inside the one above it, and each group gets its own + row for new records.

Where is the + row when the view is grouped?

At the bottom of each group. A record added there takes that group's value in the grouped field.

Why does grouping by week show no group for a week with no records?

Group creates one group per value found in the records. A week with no records has no value to group on, so no empty group appears, and no setting shows empty periods. Records with no date are grouped together as empty.
