Chapter 13 Managing Reports
Organizing Report Data
Figure 13-32 Ungrouped Data
To organize all this information into a useful inventory report, you create data groups and data sections.
Data groups contain related data rows.
For example, you can create a report that lists all heavy equipment in one group, all office furniture in
another group, all telephony equipment in a third group, and so on. For each group, you can show
aggregate data, such as the total purchase price or a count of the items in a group.
Grouping data gives your report a more polished, organized look and makes it easier to create useful
comparisons and calculations.
Figure 13-33 shows the same inventory, grouped according to the category, with one category on each
page.
Figure 13-33 Grouped Data
You can group data in the report design editor or in Interactive Viewer. The changes you make in the
viewer do not affect the report design. If you work in Enterprise mode, you can save report output that
reflects your changes.
You can add or remove data groups in Interactive Viewer if the report design does not contain the
grouping desired during that use of Interactive Viewer.
