What is the first step of setting up grouping in your report?

• A. Add Group to Grid
• B. Data Source Setup
• C. Custom Report Creation
• D. Define Group Fields

Answer: (C)

Creating the custom report is the first step. Grouping needs a report container to live in, so you must have a custom report to hold the grid and any grouping definitions. Without that initial report, there’s nothing to attach a data source to, nothing to define group fields for, and nothing to add to the grid. Once the custom report exists, you typically set up the data source, define the fields you want to group by, and then add the group to the grid. This sequencing ensures the grouping has a proper structure to organize the report’s data.
