Group Tab of the Customize Project Statistics Dialog Box

Overview

Use this tab to configure grouping options for the Project Statistics portlet.

Screen Elements

Field list

The field you want to use to arrange the data into smaller more manageable groups. Data rows with similar field values can be arranged into expandable hierarchies with up to 10 or 20 levels and sorted by group to reduce visual complexity and speed user access to specific data.

To Level list

The level to which values of a hierarchy are shown, or, if a date is selected, the way dates are broken up for the group bands.

Band Color list

The color to visually represent each hierarchical level.

Text Color list

The color for the text to be displayed within each grouping band.

Sort Order list

The type of sorting, either ascending (A to Z; 1 to 10) or descending (Z to A; 10 to 1), that you want applied to the data in each grouping level.

For example, if you group by a field called Zone with possible values of A, B, and C and select a descending sort order, the group of Zone: C rows appears first, followed by the group of Zone: B rows, and finally the group of Zone: A rows. Choose ascending to restore an alphabetic order.

Screen elements for grouping and column selection often accompany one another. The preferred default sort order for the main table's rows is specified on the Columns tab, if available.

Show field title in band option

Determines whether to display the selected field name in each grouping level followed by the field value in the format field Name: Value. You can click each level or band to expand its list of entries.

For example, if you set up a grouping level by a field called Zone, the following text appears in the bands of actual table data:

  • Zone: Zone A
  • Zone: Zone B
  • Zone: Zone C

Show field rollups in band option

Determines whether to display summary information for all cost, numeric, integer, start date, and end date fields in the grouping level.
