About layout part types
The following table describes layout part types.
To include summary data on a layout (for example, subtotals, grand totals,
averages, counts, and so on), you place summary fields in
summary layout
parts (see
“Defining summary fields” on page 88). Summary parts include
grand summary and subsummary parts.
1 A grand summary part usually contains one or more summary fields that
display summary information (like totals) about all records being browsed.
1 A subsummary part usually contains one or more summary fields that
display “subsummary” information (like subtotals) for a subset of records.
The records are grouped (sorted) by values in another field, the break field.
Whenever the value of the break field changes, the report “breaks” and
FileMaker Pro inserts the subsummary part. Subsummary parts appear in
Table View and List View when sorted by break fields, and update
dynamically whenever data in the file is changed.
For more information about working with layout parts, see Help.
