Selecting Variables for a Report

All the items that can be placed in a report are listed in the variable tree
in the Select Variables frame. The items are grouped under source
names like files in directories. To see the list of items under a source,
click on the plus (+) sign. To collapse the list, click on the minus (-)
sign.

To select an item to a report, proceed as follows:

1.

Select the item to be added to a report by clicking on it in the Select
variables
frame.

Either drag the item into a cell in the Configure report frame or
select a cell and click the Add button.

The item is shown in a report cell.

The list of variables also includes items, such as time and date, and
special characters, such as Start of Heading and Start
of Text. You can select these items from the variable tree under the
source name Reporting. These items do not take up a cell of their own,
but are added into an already filled cell, next to an existing text.
