File Object Type

---

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.
