Note the total employee count and sum of salaries as well as the frame around the
Summary Band. The final report now appears as shown below.
Figure 88 – The completed report
The report above consists of only one page because in the parameter query for this
particular figure, only the HR and Product Development Departments were selected.
There are actually 7 departments within the sample database that could have been
chosen for this report.
Additional Group Bands
This example utilizes a single Group Band to
group employees by department name. If
desired, additional Group Bands could be
created to group, for example, by Region. Thus,
nesting of Group Bands provides multi-levels of
grouping.
When creating an additional Group Band, if
Argos does not place the band in the desired
order,you can drag the band to the correct
location. Argos will always place the new group
band immediately in front of the detail band.
It is recommended that the outermost group be
created first, followed by inner groups. Using
this method generally does not require that
group bands be moved.
Not all bands are movable due to the nature of
the various band types. For example the
Summary Band always exists at the bottom of
the report and cannot be moved.
