Filter groups are needed to do one of (or a combination of) three things with the data within a template.
Firstly, they can be used to filter out data so that only data that matches the criteria that is set will display (This is called Filtering). For example, filtering out all sample data other than those that have a type of 'U'.
Secondly, they can then be used to group data under certain conditions, such as grouping all of the Moisture Content Tests and showing them all at the Sample Information depth (This is called Grouping by Records).
And finally, they can be used to filter out one particular aggregate record based on a group of data (This is called Grouping by Values. For example, pulling out the maximum moisture con-tent value that belongs to a particular sample.
The examples in this section of the user guide use the sample British Standard project and will show how to display the data as follows:
