grouping labels

[Judy Staigmiller]

Hello everyone,

I use SKY7. I need to group on a color label. How do I let SKY know which one I want to group on?

Thank you,

Judy S.

Judy,

You need to filter. View>Filtered

What I do is choose the one I want to look at, click that and say okay.

Conversely, I label a lot when I have space limitations -- I label 'possibly omit' entries. Then I go to the filters screen, click on the label I assigned and the Hide button at the bottom of the list. 

Whether you hide of just group, there's a CLEAR button on the right side of that screen near the bottom.

I'm likely too worried so when I clear, I also uncheck everything I'd checked...

Filtering has the advantage that you can group on two or more labels at once.

Another method, which only works on one label color at a time, is to set the active label. Go to the Label tab and click on Label Manager. Then set the color you want to be the Active Label. (In Sky 8 the keyboard shortcut is Alt + Ctrl + J. Probably the same in Sky 7, but I don't use this often enough to remember it, so I just use the mouse.) Then in the Group tab you can choose Group on Active Label (In Sky 8, Ctrl + Shft + M; probably the same in Sky 7).
