Field Description
GROUP BY To group records on the report based on the value in a specific field, select the field in GROUP BY. For example, you might group the opportunities on the Opportunities report by stage or by primary client.

Type one or more characters from the field name to select from a list of fields that contain those characters. Click to select from the full list of the available grouping fields.

Note: If you use the Multicurrency feature in Vision and you specify grouping for the Opportunities report, the report does not display a group total for currency columns for a group if the group includes opportunities with different currencies or includes some opportunities with a currency specified and some for which no currency is specified.

AVAILABLE COLUMNS This list contains all of the columns that are available for the report but have not yet been selected for display. To add a column to the report, click the column in this list and click to move the column to the COLUMNS TO SHOW list.

The columns available for the report include both standard fields and user-defined fields that are used in the corresponding Business Development area.

COLUMNS TO SHOW This list contains all of the columns that are selected to display on the report.

The order of the columns from top to bottom is the order they appear, from left to right, on the report. To change that order, hover over the row for a column that you want to move, and click-and-drag to move the column.

To remove a column from the report, click the column in this list and click to move the column to the AVAILABLE COLUMNS list.
