Group footers

Accountants Enterprise only

The group footers have a logical relationship to the group headers in a layout. If you add a field or fields to group data within a report while you are working in the Change Report page, Reports assigns a group header and footer using that field name (for example, ghClient and gfClient, where Client is the name of a field). Therefore, when you add group totals in the Change Report page, Reports adds those totals to the matching group footer. This simplifies the task of building a report layout.

A saved report layout cannot be edited in the Change Reports page. To do so risks losing some of the formatting features already included.

You can make any changes to the properties of a group footer in the Report Designer page. For example, you could bold the footer or reposition it. It is often easier to add grouping fields in the Change Report page and then adjust them as necessary in the Report Designer page.
