Access Review default 'Group By' column

For IIQ 8.5, is there a method to default the ‘Group By’ column for an access review?
When the access review is opened, the default seems to “Group By” the “None” option.
Can this be changed to default to one of the columns?

I’ve researched the UI Customization page and Compass Forums but did not find any solutions.

@Paul_Meyer Can you explain the usecase, It is not clear. If you have any screenshot that helps in understanding, then it would be great.

When initially opening an access review, the default “Group By” is set to “None”:

If you select a “Group By” as “Account Name” the view is ordered by account name:

I’m looking for a method to default the “Group By” to “Account Name” instead of “None”.

Have you checked this key in UIConfig “uiCertificationItemWorksheetColumns

I’m looking, but not finding anything useful. You can define column settings, but I cannot figure out from looking at the UIConfig key how to default the “Group By” behavior.

@Paul_Meyer IIQ used UIPreferences to store the UI alignments/changes done by users and certification entries should also be there in one of the keys. Possibly this one is for TargetedCert: uiTargetedCertificationItemWorksheetColumns-Open & uiTargetedCertificationItemWorksheetColumns-Review.

It is created per user, there is no default preference settings. If you want, you can try to create/update this using a rule. You might want to run it periodically to update it for all new users.

At the high level, what you can try is:

  • Login as any user: Let’s say John.Doe.
  • Make changes to Certification GroupBy.
  • Login back as Administrator
  • Go to Debug→ UIPreferences → Find the line item for John.Doe.
  • Review what has been added recently.
  • Accordingly create/update entries for all targeted users by adding that entry in UIPreferences.
