Creating a custom grouping option

You can create a custom grouping option that groups issues in a hierarchical format in sequential order based on selected attributes.

To create a new grouping option:

  1. In the Group By list, select Edit.

    The Edit Custom Groupings dialog box opens.

    Edit Custom Groupings Dialog

  2. To create a custom group by option, do the following:

    1. Select Create New from the Custom Group Name list.
    2. In the Enter Value dialog box, type a name for the new custom group.
    3. Click OK.

  3. From the Grouping Types list on the left, select a grouping type, and then click the right arrow to move the option to the Grouping Order column.

    For example, selecting Category and then Analyzer creates a list that has top-level nodes that contain the category of the issue, such as SQL Injection, with the issues grouped below by analyzer (such as Dataflow or Semantic).

    2. Right‑click the selected grouping type, and then select Move Up or Move Down.
  6. To delete a custom grouping, click the Delete button  .
