After adding new documents to DT, I often use DTTG to sort these files. I do this by moving them to the correct groups. Sometimes the correct group has to be created, so I have to go back and create the group. Afterwards I start again to move the files. Could you add a button to create a new group directly while moving the file?
Thanks for the suggestion. Weāll consider this for upcoming releases.
Thank you!

This feature was the first and foremost thing I noticed to be missing while evaluating the use of the mobile companion app. Iād really like to be able to scan a pile of documents at home and then sort them while Iām on my commute to and from work. Looking forward to this addition - much more than any smart group feature

Thereās a lot of friction in sorting items on DTTG for me, being able to create a new group in the Move menu would solve so much of it.
Hi @BLUEFROG ,
do you know some new about this suggestion? I sort my documents often while traveling. It would be amazing if one could create a new group while strolling through an complex group tree. Otherwise - as now - I have to navigate trough my groups recognizing that there is no exact group, so I have to go all the way back, create a new group and do overthink again from the beginning.

āYou have to go all the way backā where?
If youāre in a group in DEVONthink To Go and find you donāt have a desired group, you can create one in the current location.
You could always do a search on the database first with a kind:
search prefix, e.g.,ā¦
Beyond that, sorry but no there is still no option for creating a new group when filing items.
Hi @BLUEFROG,
thanks for your message. You answered my question with your last sentence, that there isnāt any further option to create groups while filling. Do you know why? I thinks itās in general a pretty normal workflow to create a group while sorting the inboxes.

When processing records in my Inbox, I often need to create a group for connected records
edit Itās easier with Devonthink on a Mac
I added an icon to the toolbar
Just select the records, click the icon, the group is created containing the records
I then proceed with filing the group
Works with DEVONthink macOS, but not with DEVONthink to Go.
It is do-able with DTTG (create group > file the group)
but not as easy
I prefer to do such functions (filing) on the Mac
Youāre welcome!
iOS is a different environment and experience than macOS. Some things arenāt as easy to implement, especially from a design standpoint since it has to accommodate smaller form factor devices too.
Iām not saying it wonāt ever happen - itās on our long list - but we donāt have a good solution at this time.
One example of how a similar product does this. Their āMove to Folderā command brings up this menu.
Understood, but the OP is looking for an easy solution on iOS.
This shows the menu when sorting a file and would be the perfect place for a āadd a new groupā button.
Without this button, one starts to sort and after searching for the right group and recognising there isnāt any, you have to open the same place, add a group and start all over.
Looks like others have the same thoughts
At this juncture no point piling on ā¦
Hi Greg, this is exactly the way I am looking for. Unfortunately itās another software ā¦ this shouldnāt be so complicated for implementation!
