<h1>Section Pairs</h1>
<p>Section pairs are used to group data in your report using header and footer
sections.</p>
<p>You can add, edit and delete section pairs using the "Sections" tab of the
<a href="EasiReporter.Dialogs.Report.htm">Report Properties Dialog</a>.</p>
<p>A section pair header and footer is triggered by a change
in one table.field in the dataset for the report. You can also select a
<a href="Algorithms.Topics.Algorithms.Data.htm">Data Algorithm</a> to provide
the data.</p>
<p><b>NOTE:</b> This table.field will usually be an id or
number table.field. So use Customers.CustomerID, not Customers.CompanyName. This
is because two customers may have the same name, but if they are actually
different, then they will have two distinct ids.</p>
<p>For example :</p>
<p>If you are preparing a report on customer orders ( for example using
the Customers and Orders tables in the Northwind database ), and you wish to group all orders
from each customer, then create a section pair on Customers.CustomerID. This
will give you a section header where you can add a data field
Customer.CompanyName to show the customer's company name at the top of their
list of orders.</p>
