Creating group headers
Whenever you create a group, a subtotal, or a summary, the program creates
both a Group Footer (GF) section (where it places any subtotal or summary
value), and a Group Header (GH) section (where it automatically places the
group name/header). Group Headers are useful, even necessary, if you want
your report data to be clear and easily understood. Though the program
creates a group header automatically, you may find that you would like to
change or modify the header to suit your needs. You will learn how to create
the four most common kinds of group headers:
• “Standard headers” on page 198
• “Live headers” on page 198
