Adding additional fields using expressions
Even though the report has been created, you can edit the report to add fields from the
DataBlock or add fields created from expressions. To illustrate this, two fields will be
added to the report. The first field will have the last name and first name concatenated
into one field (with a space between the names). The other field will contain the date the
report was run. This will illustrate how to utilize the Expression Builder.
Highlight the report within the Navigation Pane, click Edit Report, then click the Design
Button to bring up the “Edit CSV Report” dialog box again as shown in the following
figure.
After fields are moved to the window in
the right you can:
Click the red X to delete a field from the report.
Use the up/down arrows to move a field up or
down.
Editing fields
To change the name of a field within the right
hand window, click the “ab” item, then change
the name of the field.
Right-clicking on any field provides all available
editing features
