Hi colleagues,

NAV 2013, standard demo database.
Can anybody explain how GroupFooter was created in the ReportLayout of the report 409 Purchase Reservation Avail.? Trying to make a similar layout in my 2013 database, but have no clue how to create a GroupFooter section with similar indentation level as 409 report (see Row Groups on the left bottom side of the screen).

    At the bottom of the Report.rdlc layout window there is "Row Groups" and "Column Groups".
    You need to expand this part to see the way the Groups are created.

    I have created a simplified example you might want to look at first and understand before you start with report 409.

    Feel free to explore this report here, with many other examples.

    Thanks a lot Claus.
    Btw... If we try to compare 2009/2013 report development process - no doubt, tons of improvements. Thanks for that.
    However, the biggest thing that makes me feel weird about reports development process in 2013 is crazy user interaction. What I mean... Well, spent few hours to understand how to add tablix. The answer was silly: just add ANY control on report layout. So any control becomes a tablix depending on the area of report where we add it. However, no contextual menu/help info about that...
    About the grouping... I saw Row Groups, Column Groups, however had no clue how to make this indentations. All "parent" or "child" group I made was kind of separated from others. Same problem - no help/technical white paper which would be able to help to understand it.

    Once again - thanks a lot for the example attached.
