  2. Click and drag the column named JOB_ID out of and above G_EMPLOYEE_ID to create a new break group, as shown in the following figure:

    Figure 41-4 Query with group

  3. Double-click the title bar of the new group that contains JOB_ID to display the Property Inspector, and set the following properties:

    • Under the General Information node, set the Name property to G_conlabel.
