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

Apply a hierarchy based on a specific column to an interactive grid 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.
