Enhancing the Report
The report will now be enhanced to appear in its final form by:
 Sorting the employees by department name.
 Adding page counts and dates to the report.
 Creating and highlighting groups.
 Summing employee count and salaries by department and by entire company.
Sort Employees by Department Name
Begin by selecting the existing report from the Argos Navigation pane, highlight the
report (Example Banded Report) then click Edit Report within the Detail Pane which brings
up the Edit Report dialog box.
Since employees are to be grouped by department, click the Sort tab and move
Departments.dept_name and Employees.emp_id into the right hand window. Argos will
now sort by department name, then by employee ID within each department. Remember
to check the “Overide the main report query sort” check box, otherwise you will not be
able to move any fields.
