Step 3: Create a Sort Field

Tutorial 2 for Pro Version: Using Report Bands

Step 3 - Create a Sort Field

Key Concept

• Sorting and Groups/Bands are inextricably tied together.

  • Report bands will generate every time the field you are grouping by changes.

  • IF your data is NOT sorted correctly, you'll get "duplicate" bands in your report, each with incomplete data.

• Whenever you create a group, you should create a matching Sort Field.

To create a Sort Field,

• Go to your Outline tab

• Right-click on "Sort Fields"

• Select "Create Sort Field"

• Select the Current Site Name field (or whatever field you create a Group for)

• Click OK
