Displaying the data columns

Top  Previous  Next

You can print the data column in the following way:

 

[Datasource name.Column name]

 

As you can see, the square brackets are used here. The data source name and data column name are separated by the period. For example:

 

[Employees.FirstName]

 

Read more about using the data columns in the "Expressions" chapter.

 

There are several ways to insert a data column into the "Text" object.

 

1. In the "Text" object's editor we write the name of the data column manually. This method is the most inconvenient as it is easy to make a mistake.

 

2. In the object's editor we choose the needed data column and drag&drop it into the text:

 

textEditorInsertData

 

3. Click on the small button in the upper right corner of the object and choose the data column from a list:

 

textObjectSmartTag

 

4. Drag&drop a data column from the "Data" window into the report page. In this case the "Text" object is created which contains a  link to the column.
