Group or filter by Custom field

[JUDY EDMONDS]

Hi

I created a New custom Field and would like to Group by and/or Filter  by that field when creating a new view.

However, the field does not present in the list of fields available for selection when Grouping or filtering.

How might I do that?

Hi Judy,

It might depend on the field type you’ve chosen for your custom field. 

I’m guessing here, but I believe groups have similar limitations to columns. Which means only certain types of custom fields are supported. 

What field type are you using?

An alternative approach would be to use labels rather than a new field.  You can then group by and/or filter on the label values, (and ignore/hide other labels you don't care about in your view).
