Group by ideas

[Alec Dewell]

We have just upgraded to premium and I am working a few things out. 

We have a simple structure in our workstream boards of an idea that can have iterations. I am looking for a view where the idea is the group and the iterations hang underneath in a list. (so I can see the metadata like reach, impact, personas etc.) This looks like it is only possible if the idea connects up to a higher level?

Hi, I think you're describing this feature which is part of the Premium plan:

Thanks for the response, we have premium as mentioned and looking to build the hierarchies but they aren't exactly behaving as I expected or saw in the demo. 

You had a view with solutions and experiments underneath in a list view. I can't replicate that with idea into iterations as the connection rolls up. I have a great card view but it still feels limited in our list views. So I almost want this structure in a list view but I don't know if I have made the connection the wrong way around as I can't see on the iteration what idea it is connected to either.

Hi, for the list view what you should do is:

• First, make sure you have a connection field for both "Iterations" and "Ideas"
  • You have one for "Iterations" already
  • If you don't have one for "Ideas": create a connection field, called "Ideas", pointing to the type "Idea"
• Then, in the list view: 
  • Filter: type = "Iteration"
  • Group by: field called "Ideas"
  • This will show iteration grouped by ideas 

You could also create a list view with:

• Filter: type = "Idea"
• Add the field called "Iterations" to the view
