Organize Records by Category (New Layout/Report assistant)
In this panel of the New Layout/Report assistant, you select the break fields that you want to
categorize your report by. For example, if you have sales data that you want to group by region, you
would choose the Region field.
In Report categories, the order of the break fields determines the hierarchy, or nesting, of the
categories. So, if you want to group sales data by region and then by city, you would choose the
Region field first, and then the City field.
As you change the number of break fields in Report categories, the image on the right changes to
reflect your choices. The assistant displays the selected break fields in shades of blue to help you
judge the hierarchy that you want.
FileMaker Pro automatically sorts your report by the fields you choose for report categories. (They
are pre-selected in the Sort Records panel that you see next.)
To Do this
Include a break field In Report fields, double-click the fields you want, in the
order you want them used in the hierarchy. (Or select one or
more fields, then click Move.)
Note Only the fields you chose in the previous panel are
available. If you need to add a field, click Back. The
assistant saves your choices in this and all preceding
panels.
Display break fields in the body of the
report
In the Report categories list, select the checkboxes of the
break fields you want to display in the body of the report.
Hide break fields in the body of the report In the Report categories list, clear the checkboxes next to
the fields that you want to prevent from appearing in the
body of the report.
Note Data in the report will be grouped by all fields you
include in the Report categories list, but non-selected fields
will not appear in the report.
Remove fields you've already selected In Report categories, double-click the field you want to
remove. (Or select one or more fields, then click Clear.)
Change the order of the break fields to
change the hierarchy of the grouping
In Report categories, drag the double-arrow next to the
field name (Windows) or drag the field name (OS
X) to a
new position.
