Group Items on the Dashboard

When you are viewing a dashboard it is sometimes easier to group information by a particular tag or category such as status. When the data is grouped you have the option of expanding or collapsing each group of data to see the details or the summary level information. There is also menu items available under Options that let you expand or collapse all groups at once. You can also clear the grouping through the Options menu. See Dashboard Options Menu for more information on these features.
