Grouped tabular fields allows the collation of records sharing common properties. Take this data for example:
To create a custom field that collates records sharing the same PRICE, the following is configured:
A simple script is used to pick out the ID column:
-- Get the records in the group
r = RECORDSET.getgroup();
-- Create a table of IDs
t = r:tableof("ID")
-- Return the table
t:present();
Notice the Group Path: has been configured with the name of the PRICE field. This groups all records with the same value. Any number of fields can be specified by separating them with a colon. The resulting is shown below:
Because one table is created per PRICE, all links inserted are shared, so placing one will flag other with the same Shared IDs as placed:
