Variables

When variables are used in data groups, their usage becomes more flexible since the variables can be given a value when it is deployed.

The following group settings can be specified as a variable:

  • Names

  • Headings (including parsing)

Name Variables

When a variable is used for the Name under the Columns tab, there are 3 different values that are available from that variable:

  • Name (e.g., {Item 1})

  • Nickname (e.g., {Item 1:Nname})

  • Description (e.g., {Item 1:Desc})

These additional variables can be used in the Heading in the group or as a Variable connection in the template to display more information in the report.
