Sort displayed transactions by a field appearing in the report (for example: sort transactions by Activity code) |
Note: Depending upon how many groupings are in a report, the sort order may be superseded by the groupings. To change it to be the first sort in your report:
|
Display transactions matching a specific value for a field appearing in the report . For example: Transactions posted to Account code 700026 or Transactions with an Actuals value greater than $5,000. |
|
Group displayed transactions by a field appearing in the report (for example: group transactions by Activity code, group funds by FFM). |
To insert associated information into the group header (for example: display the activity title next to the Activity code or display last name and first name next to the FFM ID):
|
Switch the grouping order of the displayed transactions. |
To switch the Grouping order, go to the Design Tab.
|
Change the Background color of the Group Header. |
