Christian Carlow edited comment on OFBIZ-6427 at 6/1/15 4:05 PM: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Attached are some screenshots of the POC patch. Multi-sort capability was provided with sort sequence dropdown where lowest number indicates first sort. A sort direction dropdown was also provided with the sort sequence which is ascending by default. If a sort sequence isn't chosen then the field is ignored. If a sort sequence is chosen then it activates the group checking functionality. Fields are set to be grouped with the group style dropdown and "group-row" is the only 1 available so far. Group functions are listed as table rows at the end of each find field row and have sequence dropdowns that activate the group function and specify the order in which they should appear in the group's summary field. Function expression text boxes are provided for each group function sequence dropdowns so that end-users can control what appears for each specific grouping function. The expression text by default is set to: {code} "<name of function> ${functionValue}". ${functionValue} {code}. The functionValue expression is replaced with whatever is calculated during the find service. Right now the grouping functionality is integrated into FindServices.performFindList but may be provided as a separate function. was (Author: ofbizzer): Attached are some screenshots of the POC patch.

For these reports queries, group > totals can simply be calculated by looping each detail record. But if > pagination is used, the method of calculating totals for grouping records > becomes more complicated because if detail records exist outside of the > current page but are part of a group being summarized then they will be > excluded from the group total unless implemented some other way. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
