Introduction

Sometimes, there is a need to display the results based on a certain classification or limit the information display by setting a classification framework.
In the simplest case, you should just edit a cash report layout, adding the necessary fields into the respective band grouping. Or just add a filter condition when only a part of the information needs to be displayed.
In a more complicated case, the band could turn out to lack the necessary fields for grouping. Then, it is necessary to edit the respective cube or its copy (if it is a preset cube) by adding the required field.

Let's take a look at a specific case of using the groupings.
