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 48).
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.
For more information about working with layout parts, see Help.
