For each, several lines of information are listed such as the employee’s name, job, address, and so on. To the right of each employee listing is an area of blank lines titled Personal notes.

Label report

This sample report shows a portion of a sheet of mailing labels laid out in columns and rows, each with a name and address and a decorative image of a car on the left side of the label.

Group report

This sample report titled Employee Information has column heading for First and Last Name, City, and Salary. Under the headings, the data is grouped by Department names. Totals display at the bottom of each department section for Number of employees, average salary and Total salary. The last page of the report displays grand totals for this data for all departments listed.
