5. If you added a subsummary part, sort the records according to the
break field (specified when you created the part).
See “Sorting records” on page 4-29.
Keep these points in mind:
1 The break field groups the records. Each time a group starts or
finishes printing, the leading or trailing subsummary is displayed.
1 When you view records as a list in Browse mode, subsummary parts
aren’t displayed. To see subsummary parts in a View as List layout,
print the file, or switch to Preview mode.
1 If you add a summary part to a layout that doesn’t include a body part,
FileMaker Pro lets you specify whether you want the summary above
or below any body part you might add later on.
1 To see summaries for groups of sorted records, move the summary
fields into a subsummary part. To see summaries that total all records
in the found set, move the summary fields into a Leading grand
summary or Trailing grand summary part.
1 FileMaker Pro previews and prints correct subsummary values only
after you sort the records. Sorting groups the records by the value in
the specified field (break field), so the subsummary totals all records
with the same value in that field. You can sort by more than one field
to add another level of grouping to your data.
