Summary layout part | Description |
Grand summary | Usually contains one or more summary fields that display summary information (like totals) about all records being browsed. |
Subsummary | Usually contains one or more summary fields that display "subsummary" information (like subtotals) for a subset of records. The records are grouped (sorted) by values in another field, the break field. Whenever the value of the break field changes, the report "breaks" and FileMaker Pro inserts the subsummary part. |
Grand summary (leading or trailing) | When you place a summary field in this part, the summary field displays summary information for all records in the found set. The grand summary part can be at the beginning (leading) or end (trailing) of the report, depending on its placement on the layout. You can have only one leading grand summary and one trailing grand summary in a layout. |
Subsummary (leading or trailing) | When you place a summary field in this part, the summary field displays "subsummary" information for each subset of records sorted by the specified break field. The subsummary part can be before or after the body part, depending on the placement on the layout. You can have multiple subsummary parts in a layout. If you put another type of field here, FileMaker Pro displays data from the first record (leading) or last record (trailing) in the group. Put the break field here to identify what subset of records the summary is for. |
