ValueField

File Object Type

You can refer to this file object type in any formula, macro, module, or other script in Blockpad. You can use either its name or its full path:

  • To refer to it by name, use ValueField (make sure the library Library.Docs.Objects is included with Include Libaries)
  • To refer to it by its full path, use Library.Docs.Objects.ValueField

A Value Field is a value object that can be inserted into paragraphs in a report. They are useful for entering information naturally into a report, and they are very similar to value cells.

Enter values without formulas

Unlike a dynamic expression, a value field can hold number, text, and date values without a formula. This is especially useful for entering text values, because the quotation marks aren't needed to designate it as text (they are required when entering into a formula).

Enter a value field:
  1. In a report, select the insert tool.
  2. Select Value Field.
  3. Click OK
  4. (optional) Type in a value.
  5. Click OK.
Notes:
  • To edit a value field, double click it.
