<p>To illustrate, suppose you wanted to create a report to list all lands within each location ID. The procedures that have been discussed so far in this training module would simply list all lands along with their location ID. Although the location ID is included in the report, it would be difficult, tedious, and time-consuming to scan the entire report to identify those lands that have a common location ID ([[:Image:iRep07.png|'''Figure 7''']]).</p>

<p>Grouping report results automatically organises the records using the values on the specified field. Using the example above, the lands in the report shown in Figure 8 are organised within the location to which they are associated. Records that do not contain a value for the selected grouping are put into their own group.</p>
