Hiding Group Header and Group Footer sections in documents

For each field in the Grouping panel at the top of the Document Editor, a corresponding header and footer surrounding the Detail section is printed by default. These are referred to collectively as group sections.

For each grouping field, you can specify whether the header and/or footer sections are displayed. For example, a document is grouped by Region and State. You want to display a header for each state, to identify the state. You also want a footer for each state, with various metrics totaled at the state level. You want to display a header for each region to identify the region, but you do not need a footer. To do this, you can hide the footer section for Region.

To hide a Group Header or Footer

1. Open the document in the Document Editor. How?

2. If the Grouping panel is not displayed, select Grouping from the View menu.

3. If a group has not been defined, group the records. How?

4. In the Grouping panel, right-click the grouping field and select Grouping Properties. The Grouping Properties dialog box opens.
