Report Designer Manual

 

Click on the desired field in the Data Explorer, stay on the left mouse button and drag the field into your document. It will now appear in the form of a little table with a grey and a white row. The grey row is the so called ListHeader and the white row the DataRow. These names can be made visible by Highlighting in the View tab. Now click on the DataRow and the Field tab will appear. Then you go on the row that is above the DataRow:  

 

field tab 22

 

This way you open the Group tab:

 

field tab 20

 

The row you clicked on is the header of the group. You can remove it again if you want to by clicking on the symbol Header and then Remove header. You can also add a footer that contains the calculations of the summary option in the Field tab. The footer can be removed again as well.

 

The next symbol is Group fields. If you click on it the following dialog appears:

 

field tab 23

 

With this option you are able to sort the content of the inserted field. On the right side of the window you can state the field name the sorting should apply to. Below that you enter the sort order, meaning if the data records should be sorted in a descending or an ascending order.

 

In the left area you have the possibility to add new sortings. You can also delete existing ones by selecting them and then clicking on Remove. Then you go on OK.

 

The next symbol is Arrange groups. If you click on it the following dialog appears:

 

field tab 24

 

Here you have the possibility to sort the groups in different ways. For that, click on the buttons with the arrows. Once you are done click on OK.

 

The last symbol is Separator. If you click on it the following list appears:

 

field tab 25

 

Click on the desired separator type.

 

These were all the features of the Group tab.
