Hi,
I have created a FortesReport report with the layout shown in the attached image
(Briefly:
group1: (field=site)
group 1 'header' band
group 2: (field=switchzone)
group 2 'header' band
group 3: (field=project)
group 3 'header' band
details band
group 3 'summary' band
)
I have assigned the relevant data fields to each group and have added a 'header' band in each group, showing the group-field's value.
For some reason, I only don't get group breaks, ie I see the first record of each group and all of the records in the details band.
I expected to see group breaks whenever the relevant group fields change.
If I remove the innermost group, everything works???
I have created the groups by creating the outermost group first then adding the next group inside it and so on.
I have not been able to find much info on FortesReport anywhere.
There is an English-language web site that shows 2 different reports but not much else (that I can find)
Any tips would be most welcome!
Cheers,
Nick
ps: is there any way to make a report print/calculate summaries while not showing the details? When I hide the details, I get zeroes in the summaries.
Hmmm. I have found a way around the problem but I still think there must be a cleaner way. Here is the solution
(Briefly:
group1: (field=site)
group 1 'header' band
group 2: (field=site + switchzone)
group 2 'header' band
group 3: (field=site + switchzone + project)
group 3 'header' band
details band
group 3 'summary' band
)
