Report Wizard Group/Sort Tab

The Group/Sort tab allows you select a column to reformat your data into groups. You can also select a column to sort as ascending, descending or by a custom sort such as the sequencing for a tab.

1. Click Group/Sort Tab

• Click the Group/Sort tab.

The Group/Sort tab allows you to reformat your report so that specific columns show as groups. You can also indicate the order in which data will sort, or utilize a custom sort based on tag sequenced values. Below is a description of the fields and options on the Group/Sort page.

Sort and indent by tree hierarchy: This check box will format the data on your report as it appears in its parent / child relationship.

Group by: Selecting a column for the Group by field will format the data into grouped headers.

ASC: Selecting the ASC or DESC option for this field will impact whether the groupings will appear in ascending or descending order.

Custom sort: Selecting the Custom sort check box will impact how the grouped data will appear on the report. If the data is specially sequenced on the tag values, this is how they will appear on the report.

Then by: Selecting a column for the Then by field will provide additional group headings for the report.

Additional sort: Selecting a column for the Additional sort field will impact whether the data is sorted in an ascending, descending or custom sort order. You can select this option without using a group by function.
