2.3.6.7 Creating a Control Break from the Actions Menu in an Interactive Grid

Break an interactive grid (that is, compartmentalize the layout) by column by selecting Control Break in the Actions, Format submenu.

Creating a break group pulls the columns out of the interactive grid and displays them as a master record.

To create a control break:

  1. Click the Actions menu and select Format then Control Break.
    The Control Break dialog displays.
  2. In the Control Break dialog:
    1. Column - Select the name of the column.
    2. Direction - Select the sort direction (Ascending or Descending).
    3. Nulls - Select the null sorting behavior (First or Last).
  3. Click Save.

The interactive grid reloads with the control break applied for the selected column, and a control break filter appears above the grid near the toolbar.

In the following example, a control break has been applied to the interactive grid for the Project column.
