Using Template Field Objects

You can use Template Field Objects to create more flexible report templates.
These report objects do not refer to existing database fields; you simply put
them in your template report and format them as you require. When you
apply the template to another report, Crystal Reports displays that report's
data with the formatting you specified. Therefore, when you design a template,
you don't have to know what data might be in the report you'll eventually
apply it to—you use Template Field Objects to take care of the possibilities
for you.

Note:

Template Field Objects are applied only to result fields: database fields,
parameter fields, SQL statements, and formulas. Special Fields are not
considered result fields.
