Creating layouts and reports | 103
In the New Layout/Report assistant, you can choose to:
1 Limit the number of fields across the layout to the width of the page
(defined by the page margins, page orientation, and printer). Fields wrap to
multiple lines.
1 Group records by sorting. You can then subtotal, or subsummarize, data in
the groups (for example, group sales data by region, then group subtotal
sales for each region).
1 Add header and footer parts with static text (like your company’s name),
dynamic text (like the page number or current date), or a graphic (like your
company logo).
1 Save information in a script to re-run the report (for example, switch to the
report layout, sort the data, and pause to let you preview the report).
You can modify any of these options after you complete the assistant.
