Re: [Hardhats-members] FileMan in Cache
The Cache display of globals that suppresses the subscripts is just a formatting choice. It is just how they chose to present them. It doesn't influence how globals work or how FM works. FM can be made to suppress repeating values in a column through the use of a suffix of ;N for a field specification in the print template. Look at the print template of the report that you showed here. The fields normally repeat. You have to work to suppress them.

Re: [Hardhats-members] FileMan in Cache
FM only prints the higher level entry once when printing subfile info. If you want the higher level info printed on each line, you need to specify it to print within the multiple. So in your case, you would hold off on specifying the employee, supervisor info until within the day subfile.
