Laying out and arranging information 3-29
1 To print a cover page for a report, make the title header large enough
to cover a page. You can then add a regular header, a regular footer,
and any other layout parts you want to appear on subsequent pages.
Adding objects to a layout part
You can add fields of any type, graphic objects (like lines, rectangles,
ovals, and pictures), and text in all layout parts. (To add objects to a part,
see “Working with all object types” on page 3-37.)
Important FileMaker Pro considers an object to be in a part when the top
of the object is in or just touching the part. For example, to print a box
only when the header prints, put at least the top of the box in the header.
Or if the top of a field touches the bottom of a header, the field becomes
part of the header, and its contents won’t print or display after the first
record.
About summary layout parts
Use summary parts to view and display information from one or more
records. You place a summary field in a summary part to perform the
summary. (To define summary fields, see “Defining summary fields” on
page 2-23.)

Summary part Description
Leading grand summary At the beginning of a report, summarizes all the values in a
summary field for all records being browsed. You can have only
one leading grand summary in each layout. If you put
nonsummary fields in a leading grand summary, FileMaker Pro
prints the data in that field for the first record being browsed.
Leading subsummary Before the body of a report, summarizes the values in a summary
field for a group of records. You sort the records according to the
break field for that part to create groups that have the same value
for that field. If you put nonsummary fields in a leading
subsummary, FileMaker Pro prints the data in that field for the
first record of the group being summarized.
