Fields Available for Grouping

You can group your records by most field types. However, there are some exceptions:

• Multiple option fields

• Multi-linked fields

These field types cannot be used for grouping due to their complex nature.

Multiple Field Grouping

For Table and Row layouts, you can group by multiple fields:

• You can group by up to 3 fields simultaneously

• This feature allows for more detailed and hierarchical organization of your data

The option to group by multiple fields is currently only available for Table and Row layouts.
