The Data/Format Settings tab is divided into three sections: Grouping/Sorting, Fields/Columns and Filter. Each of those sections will be explained in the following. According to the settings and selections made in those sections, the participant data will be displayed in the list. 

Grouping/Sorting

This section defines how the records on the list will be sorted.

Simply select one or more fields from the Field Wizard which pops up below the input box. The list will be sorted by the first field and, if this field is not decisive, by the second, and so on. Additionally, for each field, choose if the records shall be sorted in ascending or descending order.

Fields can also be used as a Grouping or Filter, when used as a Grouping then a group header line will be inserted for each group value on all output types. Alternatively a list can be filtered by a group, with this setup an additional dropdown will appear in the preview and also on my.raceresult.com for each filter which can then show all groups, filter to a specific group, or ignore this level of grouping all together (if filter with ignore is selected). Filter is particularly useful for online results to make these easier to navigate / filter to the data somebody actually wants to view. 

This list is grouped by contest, gender and age group:

and below the same list using a filter instead of simple grouping, where each level can be filtered using the dropdown menus. 

See Grouping/Sorting Details for more details and option

Fields/Columns

In the section Fields/Columns select the fields which shall form the columns of your list.

In Column Heading enter a description of the field and in Data select a field from the Field Wizard or enter an expression. For example, using an expression you can combine the fields Lastname, Firstname and YearOfBirth to: "Doe, John (70)"

The corresponding expression would be:

[DisplayName] & "(" & [YearOfBirth] & ")"

Select a line number greater than 1 to create Multi-Line Lists.

Additional formatting is available through the Extended List Column Settings.

Filter

By setting a Filter you can exclude certain records from the report. If you do not define a filter all records will be shown on the report.

In particular, filters are important for result lists: you would like to show only those participants that have already finished. Usually, the filter will be that the rank must be greater than 0.

Instead of setting a filter, you can also limit the number of records shown on the list by setting a maximum number of records.

Besides, the Record Multiplier allows to show records more than once with different information (e.g. lap times) on a list.
