Creating a view that groups different custom ticket statuses

Hello,

I want to request that Zendesk allow for us to group tickets by their custom ticket statuses instead of the default status categories. We use our custom statuses to give our agents better visibility into what actions need to be done on specific tickets, but it is a little cumbersome since the system does not allow for them to be grouped together. 

For example we have our On-Hold status category with custom statuses "Awaiting Response" and "Input Schedule." I want to be able to group all "Awaiting Responses" together and all "Input Schedules" together. Right now it looks like the below screenshot. Any help would be appreciated!

This seems like an oversight, we can filter views by status but we can't group them by the same metric? Please correct this!

Hi Dillon,

Thank you for this great feedback. I understand this must be frustrating to not be able to group custom ticket statuses. We are looking into the best way to solve for this and will provide an update once we do that. This is likely to take some time before we can provide this type of functionality. 


@salvador It's been a year. Any update on this?

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback! 
 
This is a great feature request and I have added it to the backlog for future consideration. This means that we will think about adding it as a priority later in our planning cycle. We are going to leave this post open for comment to allow others to provide their feedback and use cases, however please note as is stated in our Community Guidelines that we can not commit to prioritizing any one piece of feedback we receive in the community. 
 
 
Thank you again for your feedback and for being a valuable customer with Zendesk.

Hi community!
There’s an integration called Kanban Pro that can help. It lets you organize tickets into columns based on custom statuses. This way, each of your custom statuses will have its own lane with tickets (extreme visualization of your workflow). 

Plus, kanban-style boards can be fully customized with a number of filters, and tickets are moved between columns as their status changes. It gives much more control and visibility than the default views allow.
