Table-based View Types#
Depending on the type of view, you can configure the column arrangement, sorting, and grouping in the item overview. The configuration always refers to the last filter you executed. It remains even after logging out. The configuration of the “My items” filter serves as a default setting for all filters for which you have not created your own configuration.
Sorting#
To sort items by an attribute, click on the desired column heading. Click again to reverse the sorting order.
Grouping#
You can group items in up to four levels.
To activate grouping, click on the “Group” button in the top right corner of the item overview. A configuration window will appear.
