How can I preserve grouping in a report in Dynamic View?

User251

Hi.

I am linking a report to a Dynamic View. however, I want to be able to preserve the report groupings in Dynamic View. How can I do that?

Thanks

Hi @User251

Dynamic View does not currently support the Grouping and Summary headers that are generated from a core app Report; the view pulls the rows through individually based on their content.

Please provide your feedback to the Product team by filling out this form, here!

Thanks,

I agree, you use Dynamic view because you can't share source information on a report but then it the data doesn't show up the way you have organized it on your report. Like a lose lose. Everyone doesn't understand data and summary/groupings helps users see information in smaller increments. This should be standard, formatting should show in dynamic view exactly the way it is organized on the report or sheet that the information is taken from OR give the option to summarize the info in a similar way within Dynamic view as the source data.

I totally agree that it is aweful you can group reports in dynamic view. Come on Smartsheet get your act together. How about trying to improve atleast one or two of the many many many requests we would like to see get fixed. This would be way more useful than adding another color to dashboards. Or some of the other lame updates recently.

I could really use the ability to create a Dynamic View that honors the grouping of the original report. There seem to be a number of practical limitations to Dynamic View, and it lowers its' value as a tool when we need to come up with work-arounds or just don't use it at all. I love the conept of Dynamic View, but as I use it and become more familiar with it, it is not as user-friendly for those who need to see better filtered/grouped data, and the work-arounds are very time-intensive to setup and maintain. I keep loving the product — I look forward to the maturity that Dynamic View needs.
