Nested Views with different grouping levels

Hi,

Please see the attached word document that has screenshots and explains the goal much more clearly.

Assume I have 4 Value Lists, each containing 3 items:
ValueList_A (contains A1, A2, A3)
ValueList_B (contains B1, B2, B3)
ValueList_C (contains C1, C2, C3)
ValueList_D (contains D1, D2, D3)

I create a Master View that has a grouping level of:
ValueList_A
  -> ValueList_B
        -> ValueList_C

However, I would like to have a different grouping for a specific item in the B list. Let's say item  B2. For B2, I would like to insert the ValueList_D before the ValueList_C as a grouping level.

The end result would be a view that expands like this:
A1->B1->C1,2,...
A1->B2->D1->C1,2,...
A1->B2->D2->C1,2,...
A1->B2->D3->C1,2,...
A1->B3->C1,2,...

A2->B1->C1,2,...
A2->B2->D1->C1,2,...
A2->B2->D2->C1,2,...
A2->B2->D3->C1,2,...
A2->B3->C1,2,...

A3->B1->C1,2,...
A3->B2->D1->C1,2,...
A3->B2->D2->C1,2,...
A3->B2->D3->C1,2,...
A3->B3->C1,2,...

I've tried doing this using the 'Customize' option on the B2 virtual folder, but the problem is there are *many* B2 virtual folders:
A1->B2
A2->B2
A3->B2
etc...

Each one needs to be customized individually, which is not possible if the user can add values to the ValueList_A list.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

  • Found the solution....this may be a very useful tidbit.

    When you create the sub-view using the customized button, select the 'Advanced' tab and change the 'Appearance' value from 'In this folder only' to 'In all folders of this level'. With that change the B2 sub-view appears below A1, A2 and A3 automatically.
