You're asking basic programming questions.

If you don't understand what these terms mean, then I suggest you go take a class on programming at your local community college.

Use the Wikipedia.

Variable = Your name for an input you are going to use to represent a piece of data

Grouping with report = How you are going to group data in a report, such as by manufacture code of an item, so if you were going to group the answers to this question you would group the first three as "Smart As.. " answers or Maybe group as "We know so much we are insulted by your simple question", you would need a field that contained a flag that could identify each item you want to group on.

Indentation = Show the relationship between two table in a report design view.
ie. Table Sales Line will be indented one level from Sales Header, relation ship will be the link between the sales line and the master table Sales Header. It is the one to many relationship, the indented table is the "many" part of the one to many.

Seriously, Subrata,

you can be a No.1 business or accounting consultant, and that kind of expertise is very important of course, but please, PLEASE tell you boss to hire a programmer and do not even try to implement anything at a customer before that happens! There were too many broken projects, nobody needs another. Business and technical skills need to balance each other, an unbalanced team is sure way to failure.

It is possible he just picked up a manual and is trying to get a basic understanding of Navision, not trying in actualy make program changes, these all can also relate to report writing, which would not cause any problems with Navision, as long as it wasn't a processing only report. He may just be trying to write his first simple report.

However, any entry level programmer can even guess what these terms mean.

True, but you don't have to be a programmer to use Navision report writer, although it helps. Navision is sold to end users with the sales pitch that it has a report write and you can easily create your own reports, or modify forms, ect. When I started with Navision in 1999, I had never programmed and certainly had never heard of indentation in Navision. You are looking at this from a programer perspective, when it is more likely coming from an end user who just got thrown to the wolfs and told to write some new reports for his companies new installation of Navision, because his boss didn't want to pay the NSC to create reports, and why would he, he was sold on Navision and its ability to let the user do there own reporting. Now he finds out his NSC wants a $1000 a custom report, that is the cheapest our solution center every quoted for a report.

Point taken. Sorry for being rough..

I forgot that I was new, once...

Here is where I mention a good Backup is important before "trying stuff".

Or just a seperate test environment.

Also Get the Application Designers Guide
See Part 4 on Reports -
Chapter 9 : Report Fundamentals
Chapter 10 : Desiging Reports
Chapter 11 : Extending The Funtionality of your Reports
-Contains Grouping info

It good to read up.

If I has a dollar for everytime I heard

"I don't know what happened?
All I did was.....(you can fill this yourself I bet)" O:)

If he is in this situation (we don't know ...), I think it's the responsability of the NSC to give (or sell) some curses to the customer on how to use the report designer. Personally, I've never proposed the report designer to a customer without a day of formation ...
