Default Skipping a line by condition

Thanks for reading this.

I have a report that is grouped by [positiontitle] in a two column report. It
prints out ok. The thing is what I want it to do is when a new [positiontitle]
comes up I want it to skip a line in the report. For example:

Worker
George Fred

Non Worker
Bill Tom


The way it comes up now is:

Worker George
Tom
Non Worker Bill
Tom

The [positiontitle] is located in the header of the report.

Thanks for your help.

Afrosheen,

I believe what you are looking for is a group footer. Add a group footer
for [positiontitle] to your report and set it to the spacing you want
between the titles.

Sorry Gina, it didn't work. The first column after the positiontitle still
prints on that line instead of putting a line feed or carriage return after
the positiontitle.

I tried putting the positiontitle in the Detail section and all that did was
put the positiontitle after the names.

Afrosheen,

Where is the [positiontitle]? Is it in a Group Header and the names in the
Detail section?

The positiontitle field is in the sorting/ grouping section.

Field: PositionTitle
Group Header: yes
Group Footer: no
Group on: each value
Group Interval: 1
Keep together: with first detail


The names are in the detail.

Afrosheen,

Add a Group Footer for the PositionTitle, space it about half an inch. Do
not place anything in the Group Footer. What you should get is...

Worker
George Fred
Tom Harry
etc...

Non Worker
Bill Tom


WAIT... do you have it set up for columns also? If yes then also set the
Group Header for Repeat section = Yes. If all you intended was to have the
names be lined up together forget the Group Footer part and just do the
Repeat Section.

Afrosheen,

Please reread the part about Repeat Section that is what you need!
