Modify a View with Groups

Groups organize and display model properties in an expandable/collapsible hierarchy. You can choose to nest multiple properties within a group and save them to a view. Any of the available properties in a model may be used to group the data in the grid. Learn more about creating groups of model data.

Change your Inventory Grouping

  1. Select img, located directly above the Inventory.

    Modify a View with Columns

Use the Add/Remove Columns function to select columns for display in the Inventory.

  2. To add a column, select a column name in the Available columns list.
  3. Define the order of the columns by dragging and dropping the blue items to your desired order location.

Sort data with Columns

Select a column heading to sort the data by that column. The arrow next to the column heading indicates whether the data is sorted in ascending or descending order.

Remove a Column

    Use the Model Tree and Visibility Rules to Modify a View

The Model Tree lets you create views of datasets by using category family or type names to filter the objects. Learn more about the Visibility Settings.

The Visibility Settings panel provides greater flexibility and specificity in creating views. Use the Rules in the Visibility Settings panel to change visibility of objects in the view based on user defined properties that are not available in the Model Tree. Rules can be added and edited for every model in the Project.
