For all panes except the Information pane, you can group records by one or more column headers by using the Group By options. Some grouping options are predefined, and some are customizable.
When you use the User Defined option (which is available for all panes except the Inventory pane), you can use the Group By box to customize the grouping. The Group By box appears as a gray area at the top of the pane that displays "Drag a column header here to group by that column" text. When you add column headers to the Group By box, Printer Maestro groups the displayed records according to the data in the specified columns. The column header groups are arranged hierarchically in the order in which you added them.
To add, change, or remove a predefined grouping
-
To add or change a grouping, right-click in a blank area of the pane, point to Group By, and then click the grouping criterion that you want.
-
To remove the current grouping, right-click in a blank area of the pane, point to Group By, and then click None.
To add, change, or remove a custom grouping
-
Show the Group By box. To do this, right-click the pane's title bar or in a blank area of the pane, point to Group By, and then click User Defined.
-
Add groups to the Group By box. To do this, use one of the following methods:
-
Drag a column header to the box to group by that column. (If a column header cannot be used for grouping, an X appears.)
-
Right-click the column header for the column that you want to group by, and then click Group By This Column.
After you add one or more groups to the Group By box, you can perform the following operations:
-
Drag and drop the groups to easily reorder them.
-
Sort items in the group by ascending and descending order by clicking 
or 
next to the group name in the box.
-
Expand or collapse the groups. To do this, right-click the Group By box, and then click either Expand All Groups or Collapse All Groups.
-
Remove a grouping. To do this, drag the column header back to the column header bar, where it will continue to be displayed, or off the pane, which removes it from view.
-
Remove all the groupings. To do this, right-click the Group By box, point to Group By, and then click None.
-
Expand or collapse the groups to show or hide all the items. To do this, right-click a group, and then click either Expand All or Collapse All.
