Report Group
Report groups are used to link Print buttons to reports. For example, you might have a print button that should only be displayed for Sales reports. Therefore, you could create a Report group for Sales reports and then link that Report group to the Print button. This functionality should not be confused with Report groups used in the Lasernet module - more information about those report groups can be found here.
In the following example, a Report group has been created for the Sales confirmation report and the Sales invoice report:
