Using the Data Fields Toolbar to Insert Data Fields
The Data Fields Toolbar provides for inserting data fields in various files. The following table describes how to use the Data Fields Toolbar to insert data fields in supported file types.
File Type
Description
Alert
You can insert a field in the Subject line or body of an alert email message to use its data value. When you insert a field in an Alert file, a special table type, Alert Templates, is available for Table type. For more information, see Alerts (Enterprise Edition Only).
Calculation
You can insert a field in an equation. For more information, see Calculation File.
FMEA Design
You can insert a field beneath a FMEA data level so that it appears in the FMEA Worksheet table in the System file. The FMEA field that you insert is also shown in the hierarchical structure in the FMEA Design file. This field is then removed from the Data Fields Toolbar because it can be inserted only once in the FMEA design. For more information, see FMEA Design Files.
Form Design
You can insert a field in a Form Design file. For more information, see Form Design Files. The Form Designer inserts both a label and data control for the field. The Form Designer then removes the inserted field from the Data Fields Toolbar to ensure that it is not placed on the form more than once. If you use the Data Fields Toolbar to drop a parent field into a Form Design file, controls for dependent fields are also inserted. For an example, see Parent and Dependent Field Example.
Report Design
You can insert a field in a Report Design file. For more information, see Report Design Files. The Report Designer inserts both a label and data control for the field.
Workflow
You can insert a field in the Subject line or body of a workflow email message to use its data value. When inserting a field in a Workflow file, two special table types, Workflow Special Fields and Email Templates, are available for Table type. For more information, see Workflow Files (Enterprise Edition Only).
