Groups

Using groups can significantly increase the readability of the report. Groups structure the data, making it easier to assign data and find it in the report. In some export formats of the report, groups even appear as bookmarks.

Drag and drop or double-click to create a group, i.e. the field is added to the group list. The number of groups is arbitrary - usually more than about 3-5 groups, however, are not manageable in the exported report.

A group can be removed from the list using the recycle bin icon.

The order of groups is very important, as they are nested and indented if necessary. It can be changed by dragging and dropping (in the browser version of ad hoc reporting, the group must be selected and moved using the arrow buttons at the top of the list).

Using the corresponding icon next to the group name, you can specify for each group whether the sorting should be ascending, descending or original (keeps the sorting of the database):

sort up
sort down
sort original (keep the order as on the database)
