### Use case or problem When using Bases views, I’ve found the recent “Group by” function in the sorting menu quite useful. But when there are many notes, having to scroll down to see the different groups can be cumbersome. ### Proposed solution Adding a small clickable icon/button to the left of the grouped property name that will toggle folding on that group would make broadly exploring views easier. Just like how toggling folds on headings in a note make it easier to focus on specific areas. ---

I work around this for now by creating different views and embedding them in callouts ---

I got tired of waiting and build a plugin that adds a new Table and Cards Bases view that adds folding and multiple columns group by. See it at: > **[Collapsing Group Table](https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/bases-collapsing-group-table)** > > A Bases table view whose groups collapse like a tree, with nested groups, inline editing, and tag/link autocomplete. ---

1. Create a base named “My Base” with a view named “My View” 2. Go to the note where you want to embed that view 3. Put a [callout](https://obsidian.md/help/callouts) like this in the note: ```auto > [!empty]- My Group > ![[My Base.base#My View]] ``` 1. Continue for any other view you want to embed 2. Optional: add css snippet for neutral callout style: ```css .callout[data-callout=empty] { --callout-color: #a0a0a0; } .callout[data-callout=empty] .callout-icon { display: none; } ``` ---
