can users of a developed filemaker file make his custom reports that have grouped and summarized any way he wants, is there any sample likes this? database has 10 tables, each table has 40 fields, and fields can be combined and make many reports with grouped data from any other fields. 400 reports must made, if developer wants make reports himself.

It is a great advantage of FileMaker that this is possible. 'Everybody' can learn to create such individual reports.

Another question is wether it makes sense to allow this for *everybody*. Often it is better to define standard processes and allow one special person or a team to design layouts.
