Group widget items by project

Use the "Group by project" control in dashboard widgets to switch between a single flat list of items and items grouped under each project, including unassigned work.

Audience

This guide is designed for project manager.

Steps​

Step 1: Open the widget that supports project grouping​

Navigate to your dashboard and locate a widget that lists items such as tasks or issues and offers a "Group by project" option; initially, items appear in one flat list without project headings.

Step 2: Turn on "Group by project" to see sections per project​

Enable the "Group by project" control; the list is reorganised into sections with a heading for each project, showing the project name and the number of items in brackets (for example Northgate (2)).

Step 3: Review items in the "No Project" section​

In grouped view, check the "No Project" section to see items that are not currently linked to any project so you can decide whether they should be assigned.

Step 4: Confirm grouped items match their projects​

Verify that each item appears under the correct project heading and that grouped sections only show items belonging to that project, not the entire ungrouped list.

Step 5: Switch back to a single flat list if needed​

Turn off the "Group by project" control to return to a single consolidated list of all items without project headings or per-project counts.
