TestStand Sequence Grouping

Status: New

We have multiple sequences in a file to perform steps that are common to particular subsystems.  It would be nice to have the ability to group sequences within TestStand.  I could envision this to look like a treeview or folder/file structure within the Sequence Pane.  Currently, we have to use a common naming convention to group the sequences together like below:

 

GPIO_Inputs_[Seq1]

GPIO_Outputs_[Seq1]

GPIO_Outputs_[Seq2]

Communications_CAN_[Seq1]

Communications_Ethernet_[Seq1]

Communications_Ethernet_[Seq2]

Communications_UART_Port0_[Seq1]

Communications_UART_Port1_[Seq1]

Communications_UART_Port1_[Seq2]

 

With grouping, it could look similar to below:

 

Communications

    CAN

        [Seq1]

    Ethernet

        [Seq1]

        [Seq2]

    UART

        Port0

            [Seq1]

        Port1

            [Seq1]

            [Seq2]

GPIO

    Inputs

        [Seq1]

    Outputs

        [Seq1]

        [Seq2]

 

In addition, there could be a toolbar menu item to switch between showing the grouping or all so you could sort to find

Thanks @crossrulz.  Didn't see this.  It appears to be same feature request.  Hopefully this can be added since I'm not the only one requesting.  Thx.
