Expand grouped items based on list value

Question

Is it possible to expand groups in a list based on a list value? We have a list grouped by country. There is a status column in this list with two possible properties ("completed" or "not started"). Now we want to add a view where all groups are expand only when the status is "not started". Is there a possibility to solve this 'problem'?

Answer 1

Go to where you can edit your list in sharepoint. While editing the list you would like to work on, there should be an option to filter the list elements that only meet a certain condition. From there, you can show only the elements that have "Not Started" in the status field.

Answer 2

Sharepoint stores list of expanded groups in cookie. So you can put to cookie your list of groups you want to expand.

var GROUP_DELIMITER = ";#";
function SetExpandedGroups(viewId, groups)
{
    var encoded = groups.map(function(group)
    {
        return encodeURIComponent(GROUP_DELIMITER + group + GROUP_DELIMITER).replace(/%/g, "%25");
    });

    document.cookie = ExpGroupCookiePrefix + viewId + "=" + encoded.join("%26");
}

//example of use
var viewId = {C5C6F53D-41D5-449E-8E8B-59F1B8688393};
var groups = ["sunday", "monday", "tuesday"];
SetExpandedGroups(viewId, groups);
