Setting Breaks

Breaks allow the report to create subtotals and or if Print Detail is set to No, the Breaks also allow the report to only consolidate subtotals for a group of accounts.

  1. To set a break, check one of the check boxes on the Breaks page.  When setting a break, check the box in the last digit of the element to subtotal; not the digit following.  For example:  For subtotals on Location, check the 3rd box in the LOC grouping; not the 1st box in the FUNC group.
  2. For each Break, there are additional settings that can be configured:
    1. The Break drop-down, sets whether there is a Single space, Doublespace, or Page break when a break is met on the report.
    2. Setting Heading to Yes will cause print the text definition of the element where the break occurs.  For example, if Heading is set to yes on a break in the Fund, then your report may list out headings like “Educational Fund” or “Transportation”.
    3. Setting Separator to Yes will place a blank line between a grouping of accounts and that groupings subtotal.
    4. The Double Underline puts a double underline under each column of dollars.
