The report is now grouped by employee name and further sorted to show
the supervisor hierarchy. You can see that Mina, whose employee data had
no supervisor data associate with it, has been sorted at the top of the list.
Under Mina's name is each supervisor who reports to her; and under each
of those supervisors is a list of employees who reports to him or her.

Note:

The level at which a name appears in the hierarchy of this report is
determined by the number of employees who report to him or her. Those
employees with no one reporting to them are at the lowest level in the
hierarchy.

If you want to, you can now calculate summary fields across your new
hierarchical grouping. When inserting a subtotal, grand total, or summary in
the usual manner, select the "Summarize across hierarchy" option. For more
information, see
