Textgroup Box
Displays a label that you can add to a Report Definition. You can insert labels
(Blank, Page, and Report) in the header/footer section or anywhere in the Report
Definition. Using labels, you can type text to be displayed in the Report Definition
or insert keywords. By default the labels display all the languages configured in the
system.
Keyword Group Box
Keywords are pre-defined templates that can be added anywhere in a Report
Definition. They are replaced with actual data in Run mode and when the report
document (PDF, XLS) is created.
There are two types of keywords:
● Content-specific, which can be inserted only above tables/plots
● Generic, which can be inserted anywhere including the header and footer of
the Report Definition
For example, you can add the Date keyword in the Report Definition header to
display the date on which the report is executed.
The following keywords are supported by Reports:
