To create a field object manually in the report layout:
In the Paper Design view,
Paper Layout view, or Paper
Parameter Form view, click
in the tool palette.
Click and drag a rectangle.
Double-click the new field object.
In the Property Inspector, under the Field node, set the Source property to the column or parameter that will provide the value for the field.
Note: If you create a field object in a template, the field is renamed when the template is applied to a report. For example, if you create a field named F_1, the field is renamed to F_1_SEC2 when the template is applied to a report. Thus, if you reference F_1 in boilerplate (&F_1), these references will need to be updated.
