Group data

Group data

You can group data to create a collapsed view that can be expanded to view the detailed information that applies to that group.

To group data:

1	Select a column heading (the column heading will pop off the table) and drag that column heading to the space above the table. For example, use the left mouse button to click the Subsystem heading and drag that column heading to the space above the table.

2	Optionally, repeat this step to select additional headings to create a hierarchy of groupings.

This will collapse the table and display the groupings that can be expanded to view the detailed information that applies to that group.

3	To expand a group and display the individual events listed, click on the + sign to the left of the label.

4	When a grouping is in place, you can use the Pie Chart or Bar Graph icons, located at the top of the grid, to redisplay the data.

NOTE: The pie chart and bar graph displays are only available when a single level grouping has been applied to the data grid.

5	In either of these views, use the Data Grid icon to redisplay the data in the grid format.

6	To remove a grouping, select the heading and drag it back down into the table area or right-click a group heading (in area above the grid) and select one of the remove commands.
