A group indexing field is a field that is based on a group or recordrange trigger. The graphical indexer issues a warning message if it does not find all group triggers before the specified page number. The INDEXSTARTBY parameter is set to 1 by default by the graphical indexer when the 400 indexer is specified, but can be changed if necessary by clicking the indexer properties icon while defining triggers, fields, and indexes in the graphical indexer.

The INDEXSTARTBY parameter is not used by the 400 indexer when locating triggers and fields.
