Hey all,
Im having a major mental block.
I have a view that is categories by year, month and date in descending order.
In the column after the date i need to categories the task sections into 2 parts (Testing Stage One and Testing Stage Two).
The only problem is i dont think its as simple as going into the properties and selecting the categories…
as i need to to display all the most recent data under each task sections…so for instance…
2008 - April - 21/04/08 - Testing Stage One
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
Etc
2008 - April - 21/04/08 - Testing Stage Two
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
Etc
At present my view is displaying all the recent view records under each heading for the past 7 months and I would like to minimise this down to two sections (Test stage one and Test stage two) but showing the recent records at the top.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks
Gem

Hi,
Could you give more info on the way you want your data? I’m not sure if what you want is:
2008 - April - 21/04/08 - Testing Stage One ← This is Category
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
Etc
2008 - April - 21/04/08 - Testing Stage Two
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
or if you would like something like this:
Testing Stage One ← This is Category
2008 - April - 21/04/08 <-- This is also Category
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
Testing Stage Two
2008 - April - 21/04/08
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
Please give more info and maybe I can help.

Hi Carlos,
I really would like something like this…
2008 - April - 21/04/08 (This is categoriesed and cascades down)
Testing Stage One (I need this to be categorised i think?)
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
20-/03/08 -
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
19-/02/08 -
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
etc
2008 - April - 21/04/08 (This is categoriesed and cascades down)
Testing Stage Two (I need this to be categorised i think?)
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
20/03/08
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
19/02/08
View Record One
View Record Two
View Record Three
Etc
So all the views for test stage one will be put in descending order as shown above…and then the same for test stage two…
Does that make sense?

If you want to divide documents into stage one and stage two your first category has to be exactly that. You would then have to categorize by date and you would get something like this:
Testing Stage One
2008 - April
21/04/08 Record One
20/04/08 Record Two
2008 - March
19/03/08 Record One
…
Testing Stage Two
2008 - April
21/04/08 Record One
20/04/08 Record Two
2008 - March
19/03/08 Record One
…
I’m not sure if that helps, but if you try and categorize the way you showed you would actually get something like this:
2008 - April - 21/04/08
Testing Stage One
View Record One
View Record Two
Testing Stage Two
View Record One
View Record Two
2008 - April - 20/04/08
Testing Stage One
View Record One
View Record Two
Testing Stage Two
View Record One
View Record Two
…
Not what you want I think.
