ValueField

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.

  • 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
