This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to have a nested view to list out their taxonomies and their child terms below each parent term
Solution:
You can use nested Views.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-a-child-view-in-a-taxonomy-view-layout/
For example, if you have 3 layers of terms:
GrandParent
- Parent
-- Child
Each has several posts added to it, which you can display in a separate list, that you can reach starting on a Page where only "GrandParent" posts are shown and links to "Parent" and "Child".
To do that:
- create a View that queries your Taxonomy and set a filter as in:
"Select taxonomy terms whose parent is None."
- Add some post information to the loop, or any other data you want to display
- Add the View to any page and see in the front end only data about grand parent terms
- Now add a View which again queries the Taxonomy, this time has a Query filter as:
"Parent is the taxonomy selected by the parent Taxonomy View"
- Again complete the Loop with the information you want to display
- Now insert this View to the loop of the View you created first (and inserted to the page)
- Reload that page and see, that now you have a list of Grandparent Terms and a list of Parent Terms.
- Repeat these steps for the lowest "Child" terms and insert the View to the second created View.
This can be repeated for basically as many times you want.
It allows you to query the data depending on the currently looped content, and link to whatever related page/post/taxonomy term.
You would need to add there HTML and CSS yourself to group and style it like you show, but with the Toolset Views Loop Wizard you should already be able to cut a good part of that as well.

Where my issue is: Identifying how to navigate the different levels of the taxonomy. I keep creating new views without success. I have created about a dozen or so trying to get this to respond correctly. I am using three category levels Parent, Sub and Sub-sub or Grandparent-Level1, Parent-Level2, Child-Level3. At the "child" - level 3 are level 4 businesses. Because I can't figure out this heirarchy, I am not able to see how to make the businesses (level 4) viewable.
See the links:
GrandParent-Level1: hidden link
1) Want to add Count next to Category Title
Parent: hidden link
1) Notice that there is a space above Airports. Want to remove space.
2) Want to List Both Parent-Level 2 and Child-Level 3 with Counts for both Level 2 and Level 3
3) Level 2 - Parent may have children, so if clicked, All businesses need to be listed.
3) Level 3 - Child lists all children down the center of a page.
I cannot figure out to display the Levels. Images are below for Level 1, 2 & 3. Getting the 4th Level (businesses) display has taken more than a week.
