Field Selection

• Fields will be displayed left to right in the report as they appear top to bottom in the selection list.

•  The report will automatically adjust to landscape mode when appropriate.

•  When the width of all fields exceeds landscape width, the report will attempt the "best fit" within landscape. Notification will occur when this condition exists.

 

 

Totals and Averages

• Any numeric field may be set to total or to average.

• Totals will appear (for the selected columns) at the end of the report and are optionally available in the group footing options.

 

 

Sorting

• Custom sorting on large databases may be very time consuming. For the fastest results, use a predefined sort option.

•  Select sort options that allow for the appropriate grouping, totals and summary reports.

 

 

Grouping

Grouping options can play a significant role in the overall appearance of the report.

The following grouping options manifest in a report as follows;

 

•  Place totals in either group footing to create report subtotals for each group.

•  Omit report detail to produce summary reports based on group the group footing subtotal and label.

•  Place group labels in the 2nd level but not the first level and both (1st and 2nd level) labels will print on the summary row.
