Grouping

PLM has a built-in grouping statistical function that can perform real-time grouping statistics on files based on user-defined criteria. It displays the statistical results (quantity) and record list in a tree structure, such as grouping actors to list the actors with the most films.

Built-in Groupings

1. Cast: Grouping by the "cast" field, listing actors who have participated in at least 10 films. Checking "Multiple" indicates to PLM that the "cast" field may store multiple actor names (separated by "|").
2. Director: Grouping by the "director" field, displaying the top 30 directors with the most films (including null values), with the rest grouped under "Other".
3. Fav: Grouping by the "favlevel" field and instructing it to display the format as "%0.2d".
4. Mark: Grouping by the "mark" field.
5. Series: Grouping by the "series" field.
6. Studio: Grouping by the "studio" field.
7. Vendor: Grouping by the "vendor" field.
8. Category: Grouping by the "cat" field.
9. Tags: Grouping by the "tags" field.
10. Location: Grouping by the "location" field.
11. Rating: Grouping by the "rating" field.

How to Add/Modify/Delete Groupings?

Right-click on the "Groups" node in the tree directory on the left side of the traditional interface, and click the "Edit" menu. You can then perform operations such as adding/modifying/deleting/ordering groupings. Built-in groupings cannot be modified.
