Sort Tree view is a way to summarise the Data in a File. The program will
sort the file and group records with the same sort Keys together to form a Tree.
Longer Term I hope to display a Summary Record for each Tree Node.
First select the Sorted Tree View option of the View Menu.
The Screen consists of
- Record Selection at the top, Typically you would only use a Sort Tree when
there is only one record Type present.
- Sort Fields fields to sort then build the Tree on.
- Summary Table supply the summary function for the fields.
- Use Wether to build the Tree from the whole file or just the Selected records.
- Build button - used to start the build process.
- Save Button Saves the sort tree definition to an external file. You can run it later via the view menu,
see for more details.
