Grouping Printing Materials

To give a clearer structure to a long list of printing materials, you can group the list based on the prop­erties of the printing materials. The properties display in the columns in the list. To group the list by a property, mark the appropriate column header and, holding down the left mouse button, drag-and-drop it onto the icon named "Group" above the printing material list.

In this way, all the printing materials that have the same properties of the selected column are grouped. The group displays in the table as a popup list and the parameter on which grouping is based displays in the box beside the group icon. The grouped list has a small arrow.

You can expand the group when you click this icon.

Note: Like in the column headers, you can sort each group in ascending or descending order by clicking the small up and down arrows beside the group parameter.

Now you can select another parameter to continue grouping the list. To do this, select the next col­umn header and drag-and-drop it to the group icon. This new parameter becomes the new main group level. The group hierarchy also displays in the boxes beside the group icon. The top group level is always at the far left. You can create other group levels if required.

If you should discover that a selected group level is no longer needed, then you can undo the group step-by-step. To do this, mark any cell that displays beside the group icon and drag-and-drop it back to the column headers. The order of the hierarchy levels doesn't matter in this case.

These parameters are ungrouped and the single parameter values display again as table columns. In this way, you can undo the entire group.
