By Impran M N
A long flat task list gets hard to scan once a project grows, but grouping lets you slice that same list by whatever attribute matters most right now. This guide covers opening the Group By controls, switching between structural groupings like priority or assignee, and using custom field values or dual-level grouping to build more specialized views your team can rely on.
01Open a List view
Launch an active project list and locate the upper toolbar where filtering and grouping controls live.
02Click the Group dropdown
Click the Group button to open the multi-variable sorting options available for your list.
03Select a core parameter
Choose an option like Priority or Assignee to watch your tasks instantly rearrange into grouped sections.
04Group by a custom field
Access custom fields from the sub-menu to group tasks by brand-specific metrics relevant to your workflow.
05Enable dual-level grouping
Activate second-level grouping to layer additional categories, like team rows over individual resource allocations.
06Save the grouped view
Click the Save View option to permanently pin your grouped layout to the Space navigation for the whole team to use.
