Summary

Records can be sorted or grouped:

• To display totals for each group of employees and then a grand total for all employees.
• To sort the Grid into groups for you to report on. For example you can print a list of employee phone numbers sorted by department for each Departmental Manager.
• To enable you to use the Generate Chart feature, there must be at least one grouped column.

Examples of grouping are by Department, Location or Pay Period.
