<group> XML tag

The <group> tag delimits the master group in a master-detail style layout. The <group> tag can only be nested within a <groupLeft>, <groupAbove>, or <matrix> tag. You must nest <field> tags within the <group> tag to list the fields you want to include in the master group.

Syntax

<group>
  master_group_content
</group>

Example

The following example shows a section in the layout of a report definition that defines fields within two break groups for a matrix report.

<group>
  <field name="f_quarter" source="quarter" 
    label="Quarter:" 
    font="Arial" fontSize="8"
    formatTrigger="F_quarterFormatTrigger">
    <labelAttribute font="Arial" fontSize="8" 
      fontStyle="bold" textColor="black"/>
  </field>
  <field name="f_SumTOTAL_SALESPerQUARTER"
