CHAPTER 9 Filtering, Sorting, and Grouping Rows
Users Guide 309
Rearranging the report
When you create a group, InfoMaker creates two new bands for each group:
• A group header band
• A group trailer band
The bar identifying the band contains:
• The number of the group
• The name of the band
• The name of each column that defines the group
• An arrow pointing to the band
You can include any control in the report (such as columns, text, and computed
fields) in the header and trailer bands of a group.
Using the group
header band
The contents of the group header band display at the top of each page and after
each break in the data.
Typically, you use this band to identify each group. You might move the
grouping column from the detail band to the group header band, since it now
serves to identify one group rather than each row.
For example, if you group the rows by department and include the department
in the group header, the department will display before the first line of data
each time the department changes.
