You can display the chart report results grouped by the physical objects and their properties. There are three grouping options in the Specify Grouping page.
-
Single Grouping uses a single property using a set criterion to form a specific grouping.
-
Multiple Grouping uses multiple properties, which allows the user to create more complex groupings.
-
Using Run Time Values grouping uses a single property to form a specific grouping, which is only generated at the report run time.
