1 - General options: NB when modifying the options values ' choices the columns selection below (see point 3) are often reset, resulting in a loss of configuration. We suggest you select these options before filtering the columns, in order to avoid redoing the settings.

2 - Groupings: depending on the domain is it possible to set up to 5 possible groupings as the first 5 columns of the report. NB: it means giving up all the details per row that by nature cannot be added up (example: tariffs name).

  example: List of payment: Grouping payments makes 'Rate' column disappear.
