Laying out and arranging information 3-29
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.)
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the Help menu, and then type:

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.
Trailing subsummary Same as leading subsummary, except it displays the subsummary
after the body of the report and prints the data for the last record of
the group being summarized for any nonsummary fields in the
part.
Trailing grand summary Same as leading grand summary, except it displays the grand
summary at the end of a report and prints or displays the data for
the last record being browsed in any nonsummary fields in the
part. You can have only one trailing grand summary in each
layout.
