Group records in the table / list view of records.

Thu

e.g If a bucket of records are land parcels, and a bucket of locations are building rooftops, it would be helpful to be able to group those in the view like airtable.

Hi Lizzie Davis, was there any progress on this feature? I know you were looking into it last year? Thanks!

Russell Bishop

Must have!

Jake Mattison

This missing feature is the primary reason i am looking for alternatives to stacker

Lizzie Davis

Hi all, I'm a Product Manager here at Stacker and I'm currently exploring this feature request and I'm interested in whether this is something you'd want to see in the admin sidepane or whether it's something you would want the users of your app to be able to set up. 
If an admin were to set up a grouping it would apply for all users of an app.
If the app users could apply a grouping, the grouping would only apply to them, and wouldn't affect any other users of the app. 
Appreciate any insight you're happy to share.

Jeff Miller

Lizzie Davis: I would prefer this to be set up by admins, so the experience is uniform for all users. It makes it easier to troubleshoot issues and train new users if the experience is the same.
But if you could make it work either way, I do see value in both options.
As a side note, a consideration for this is to increase record list size to more than 30, or allow each "group" to display more than 30 records. Our use case for this would involve somewhere between 50-150 records split up into different groups.

Joel Webley

Lizzie Davis: Admin setup would be our priority. Our users likely wouldn't have much use for it.

Damian Vermaasen

Lizzie Davis: in my case. I would find it useful for users

Nicholas Bittrich

Lizzie Davis: The admins for sure, i currently use multiple related record list widgets in order to achieve the same thing, the nature of the related list ui is quite bulky and to show 3 different groups takes up quite an excessive amount of space!

Jack Finnerty

Nicholas Bittrich: I would agree with this - it would be very useful to be able to set up a view showing a single related record list, with records grouped by a specific field. Having multiple related records lists to acheive this takes up a lot of space. In my use case I would want to configure the grouping as an admin rather than let users decide on the grouping.

Alyssa Dyer

Lizzie Davis: We would have a use case for both scenarios but if we needed to choose just one, admins for sure!

Client Portal MK

Very much needed. Or to at least be able to do sections with filtering options within table/list view so we can create groups.

Stephanie Edwards

Very much need this feature! Currently I have to create multiple list views, that each filter by category and then display a different related record list for each category. If I needed to group by multiple parameters, this would get even trickier.

Peter Nelson

add the ability to have multiple sort levels within the record list groups too

Nate Bartlett

Need this feature too. Group By field is extremely useful in Airtable.

DELTA Constructions Airtable

Cette option amènerait plus d'ergonomie aux utilisateurs. Pour avoir travaillé sur Airtable avec cette option, cela serait un réel plus pour l'applications.

Amanda Shipka

Instead of the simple group like in airtable, if you could set filters for each group that would be even better
