Report Groups

RB 11 includes several enhancements to Groups based upon customer feedback.

Group Dialog

Redesigned Group dialog to be more intuitive.

Group NewFile

Use the Group.NewFile option to print each group as a separate file. By default each file will be prefixed with the defined file name and suffixed with the group break value. The prefix and suffix are separated by an underscore.

Example:
MyReport_100.pdf MyReport_200.pdf

To customize the file suffix, implement the TppGroup.OnGetFileSuffix event.

Group StartOnOddPage

Use the Group.StartOnOddPage property to force each group to start on an odd page. This is useful for generating duplexed reports.

GroupFooter HideWhenOneDetail

Use the GroupFooter.HideWhenOneDetail option to generate group footers only when more than one detail is present. This can be helpful to suppress group totals that would otherwise contain the summation of a single group.
