Primary and secondary groups

Timeline supports a primary group and, when available, a second-level group.

The available second-level options depend on the primary group and the location of the view. The grouping menu shows a separate toggle for each one: Also group by Assignee and Also group by List.

When the primary group is Assignee, only Also group by List is available. When the primary group is List, only Also group by Assignee is available. Every other primary group offers both. Each toggle has its own Sort By dropdown once it's on.

Group tasks in your Timeline view

To group your Timeline view:

1. In the upper-right of the Timeline view, click the grouping button. This button displays the current grouping, such as None or Assignee.
   
2. Select the primary group.
3. Choose the sort order for the selected group options.

To add a second-level group:

1. Turn on Also group by Assignee or Also group by List. Only the options that work with your primary group are shown.
2. Choose the sort order for each group.
3. Click Save view.

Nested groups create parent and child rows. Click the expand icon on a parent row to expand or collapse it. Nested rows display on Folder, Space, and Everything level views. On a List level view, a second-level group doesn't add nested rows because every task is already in the same List.

• Status
