Welcome to Create a Basic Grouping. In this video, you will learn what a grouping is in Workfront, how to create a grouping, and how to share a grouping with other Workfront users. A grouping is one of the three main reporting elements, filter, view, and grouping. The grouping organizes the results based on common information related to the items. In this video, you鈥檒l focus on creating a grouping for a list of projects. Then, you can apply what you learned to create groupings on other lists in Workfront, such as tasks, issues, or documents. Let鈥檚 get started. You want to see this list of projects grouped by the month they鈥檙e due to be completed. Before you create a new grouping, check the grouping list to see if there鈥檚 already one there. Here鈥檚 one named Completion Date by Month. You can collapse all the groupings by clicking the arrow at the left of the header row. Click here again to expand all the groupings. If you want to expand or collapse a single grouping, just click anywhere in the grouping bar. Take a look at how this grouping is set up by clicking the pencil icon next to Completion Date by Month from the grouping panel. This opens the grouping builder. The name of the grouping is in the upper left corner. In the middle section is the field source of project and a field name of planned completion date. This tells you that the grouping is looking at the planned completion date field that鈥檚 associated with a project. Because you鈥檙e grouping by a date, Workfront asks you how you want to group the dates by day, week, month. There鈥檚 a whole list of options here. This one has month of the year selected. This grouping only has one level, but you can add up to three criteria to group on. The grouping preview at the bottom of the window shows what the grouping bar will look like. There are two save options for this grouping. Save grouping and save as new grouping. Because this is one of the built-in groupings that comes with Workfront, you can鈥檛 save over it, so the save grouping option is disabled. If you edit this grouping, you鈥檒l need to save it as a new grouping with a new name. Let鈥檚 go back to the projects list and create a grouping from scratch. Think about how you want to group the information you鈥檙e looking at. How should this list of projects be organized to help you do your daily work? You decide you want to see the projects grouped by the portfolio they belong to, but you also need to see what program the projects are part of. Now that you鈥檝e decided that, you can build the two-level grouping, first by portfolio, then by program. Let鈥檚 set that up. To create a new grouping, select new grouping. Start by naming the grouping. Make sure the name is something short but descriptive. This helps you keep it straight in the grouping list and it鈥檚 helpful to others you share this grouping with. Call this grouping portfolio slash program. A nice thing about naming it first is the name serves as a guide as you create the grouping. Now click add grouping. You know the name of the field you want, portfolio name, so start typing that in. As you type, Workfront shows you a list of all fields with portfolio as part of their names. But as you finish typing you see you鈥檙e left with only one option, portfolio name. That鈥檚 your first grouping. Now do the second level, which is the program name the project belongs to. Click add grouping again and start typing program name to bring up that option. To have the grouping collapse by default each time it appears in a list or report, just check this box. Let鈥檚 leave the first level expanded and set the second level to be collapsed. Now save the grouping and take a look at it. Projects are grouped first by portfolio and you can expand a grouping to see which projects belong to a specific program. When a grouping is named no value it simply means a portfolio or program name is not specified for those projects. Right now you鈥檙e the only user who can see the grouping you just created, but it might be useful for other project managers so you want to share it. Open the groupings panel and click the more menu to the right of the grouping you want to share. Select the share option. Now enter the name of the person or people. The default sharing permission is view. This means that a person can use the grouping and share it but won鈥檛 be able to edit the grouping. Manage rights would allow the person to edit or delete it. Workfront recommends you use view in most cases. If anyone you share it with wants to change it they can copy it. This grouping now shows up with other users lists of project groupings under the shared with me section. To remove a grouping open the groupings panel and click the more menu to the right of the grouping you want to remove. This can be a grouping you created or someone shared with you. Note if a grouping you created has been shared with other users deleting it from your list removes it from list. Now you鈥檝e seen how grouping organizes the results list based on common information related to the listed items.
