Note The following text types can’t be bucketed.

- Text area
- Text area—long

- Text area—encrypted
- URL
- Date
- Date/Time

In the Edit Bucket Field overlay for a text field:

1. For Source Column, select the field you want to bucket.
2. Enter a bucket field name. This appears as the column name in the report.
    
    Since a bucket field is intended to have multiple buckets within it, a good name for a bucket field describes the scope of the buckets. For example, a bucket field named “Region” could have “East,” “West,” and “Central” buckets.
3. To create a bucket, click **New Bucket** and enter a bucket name. Create multiple buckets to group your report records.
4. To find a particular value in the list of values, type all or part of its name in the **Search for values...** box and click **Search**, or leave the box empty and click **Search**.
    
    The search returns up to 200 values.
5. Select values and drag them into a bucket. Alternatively, select values, click **Move To**, and select a bucket or enter a new bucket name.
    
    While you’re bucketing values, use these functions as needed:
    
    - Use Enter Values to enter the exact name of a value you want to bucket, or to bucket values that may appear in your report later.
    - To show the values for a particular bucket, click the bucket name.
    - To remove values from a bucket, select the values, select **Move To**, and select a bucket or enter a new bucket name.
6. To move all unbucketed values into a bucket named “Other,” enable Show unbucketed values as “Other”. If this is disabled, unbucketed values appear in the bucket column with the value name.
7. Click **OK**.

In a report, text bucket columns are sorted in alphanumeric order.
