The hierarchy of subgroups can also be changed by dragging and dropping a sub-grouped item before or after another grouped or sub-grouped item.

 

 

Grouped items can also be further filtered by clicking on the group or sub-grouped heading and checking the box for the sub-group classification (Figure 18.56).

 

 

If the (Custom...) category is chosen (Figure 18.57), you will be prompted with the Custom Filter dialog.

 

 

 

 

The Custom Filter dialog (Figure 18.58) allows you to define a custom classification for your reports grouping.

 

 

 

Date range filtering may also be done on any column, group, or custom filter using the Filter Criteria button.

 

Filters may also be saved by clicking on the Save As... button (Figure 18.59 below). The Save the active filter to file dialog will appear where you may save your Filters (*.flt) file to be used again at a later date by clicking Save.
