Group

In table layout, you can group items by a custom field value. You cannot group by fields that contain GitHub data (such as: title, assignees, repository, labels, milestone). When items are grouped, if you drag an item to a new group, the value of that group is applied. For example, if you group by Status and then drag an item with a status of In progress to the Done group, the status of the item will switch to Done.

5. Alternatively, click at the top of the table to show the "Filter by keyword or field" bar. Enter the field name and value that you want to filter by. As you type, possible values will appear. Separate multiple filters with a space. For example, status:"In progress" assignee:octocat.
6. Alternatively, select the drop-down menu next to the view name and click the menu item that indicates the current sort.

Save views

Saved views allow you to quickly view specific aspects of your project. For example, you could have the following:

• a view that shows all un-started items (filter on "Status").
• a view that shows the workload for each team member (group by "Asssignee" and filter on "Status").
• a view that shows the items with the earliest target ship date (sort by a date field).

The following steps demonstrate how to add a new view:
