Merging Specific sections or items within a section in a form..

[Ivor Davies]

Is it possilbe to setup a form so that each section of the form (e.g.
comments / accomplishments / objectives) can be merged?

How about specific items in a section? Is it possible to setup the form so
that a reviewer can pick and choose which sections / items to be merged?

This would be in a cascading table of some sorts.

Please advise..

Thanks..

This is one of the limitations of merge and shows how basic the functionality
is. Merge unites all of the data source together and you have no ability to
pick and choose what.
You can add special views which can maybe be used just for merge to try and
make better sense of it but otherwise you need to use a real reporting tool.

I would recommend the Database Accelerator since with it you can store your
form data in tables and then use Excel or SQL Reports or any other reporting
tool to analyze your data, even in real time. http://www.qdabra.com
