Adding Subsection Examples

On the Financial Report Builder's Edit Layout page, you can add subsections within any financial statement section or header and summary row grouping. You can indicate the subsection's parent section or parent header/summary row grouping by your selection in the Child Of dropdown or by the subsection's placement in the Layout outline. You may need to add a new header and summary row to group data from multiple subsections.
