Add a Group to Create a Double Header in a Tabular Report
Often, data can be presented more logically in tabular reports, by grouping the data with spanning headers and subheadings, as shown in the following example.
To group fields with headings and subheadings, take the following steps:
Note:
The steps to add a group for a Line Chart are similar to these steps. Only the fields are different. For a description of the group fields that are relevant for Line Charts,
In the Dynamic Template Designer window, in the Selected Fields pane, click .
Configure the following fields.
: The group name is used internally by the Dynamic Template Designer and also provides a title that will be displayed as a column heading in a tabular report. Note that in a Line Chart, the Group Name is used as the header of the individual line chart.
: Enter a title that will be displayed as a column heading in a tabular report. The group title becomes the table column heading and the field captions become the subheadings. In most cases, a group will have a title, although there may be cases where a single column of data requires no grouping. Therefore, Group Title is an optional setting.
Once you create a group, every selected field within the template must reside within a group, so you will likely need to create additional groups that will include the remaining fields.
In most cases, a group will have a title, although as shown in the following example a title is not necessary. Therefore, Group Title is an optional setting.
The fields within a group become the subheadings in the report.
