A cue group is a part that contains one or more cues. You use a cue group to list the names of the cues and the number of records retrieved by each cue. The cue group appears in the FactBox pane of a form. This topic describes how to create a cue group and how to add cues to that cue group. For information about how to create a cue, see How to: Create a Cue.
