Report Constants
The Document Editor (for generated report templates) provides a set of fields that represent data on the report itself, such as the report name, title, generation date, version, author and status. When the report is generated, each field is replaced by the current value of the data item. These are called report constants.
You can insert a report constant anywhere in your template - in text, in headers or footers, or in cover page material. They are particularly suited for cover pages.
