Your workspace has a rich storehouse of data captured in real time as people update work and log progress. Use Grid view to make sense of it all and keep information flowing.

Set and sort columns to see what’s most important to you, then download to analyze and share. Downloading a Grid creates an Excel file mirroring your Grid settings, columns, and filters.

Grid is a view in all levels and collections so you can easily surface data relevant to the work you are interested in. If you find yourself going back to a Grid for tracking and analysis, click the star at the top and make it a favorite for faster access next time.

Sorting things out #

Grid view supports single column sorting

Grid view supports single column sorting. Download the Grid to Excel when you need to sort on multiple columns.

The default setting for a Grid is to list items in Priority order. Change the order by clicking on any of the column headers and sort on that column’s values. As long as the cell contains a single value, the grid can be sorted by that column. Assigned To is an example of a column that can’t be sorted because it could contain more than one assignee.

Sort order includes: A to Z, and Z to A, or High to Low and Low to High.
