Background

Users can group the rows of tables according to three preferences: range; operation; and, no preference.

NOTE All tables will have the same grouping order. You cannot group 'Messages' by range and 'Snowpack description' by 'operation', for instance.

The following information assumes you are logged in to the InfoEx application, you have selected an operation (if you have more than one valid operation) and you have selected 'Reports' on the main application menu.

Step-by-step-description

1.
Fig. 1: How to access the grouping options
To access the grouping options select the 'settings' icon on the upper right of the 'Reports' page (fig. 1).
2.
Fig. 2: Settings box for the InfoEx report
A dropdown box will appear offering selections for the layout, grouping, and table types for the report that will be produced (Fig.2). For a description of selecting tables and layout see:Specifying the tables to be included in an InfoEx report and Single page view versus individual tabs for tables.
3. Under 'Group By' select the grouping option that you prefer. The grouping options will provide output as follows:
Range: This option groups the report entries in each table by the mountain range of the location.
NOTE The mountain range of the location is decided automatically by comparing the location to a baseline map of predefined mountain ranges. If the location overlaps two defined mountain ranges it will be considered to lie in both.
Operation: This option groups the report entries in each table alphabetically by the operation name.
ISSUE Currently this sorting method does not sort locations alphabetically and some unexpected ordering can occur
JIRA: - SAFE-967 ( Oct 29, 2013)
None: This option groups the report entries by their default sort order that is assigned by the InfoEx administrator.
