Grouping Studies in PowerJacket

Introduction

When a PowerJacket Studylist first displays, Synapse sorts the studies by study date and time in ascending order (newest to oldest). For additional comparison and reference, use the Grouping feature to reorder studies, grouping the more relevant studies together at the top of the list, and leaving studies that are less relevant at the bottom of the list. The Grouping feature is located in PowerJacket on the Studylist toolbar.
