Exporting to XML

386 InfoMaker

For reports with more than one group, when you generate a new default

template, each group after the first is identified with a special icon and a check

on the pop-up menu next to the Starts Group Header item.

When the Iterate Header for Groups check box is selected, each XML fragment

in the header section between a Group Header element and the next Group

Header element or Detail Start element is iterated.

In the template shown in the previous illustration, sales are grouped by

customer ID, then by order ID. The customer group header has attributes for

the customer’s ID and first and last names. The order group header has

attributes for the order ID and date. The following illustration shows the report

in the Design view:

The following XML output shows the first iteration of the customer group

header and the first and second iterations of the order group header:
