Placeholders are areas in layout templates with specific formatting that can be mapped to fields in the query. You can use placeholders for things such as improving the appearance of reports and complying with company-required formats.
To add a placeholder to a layout template and map it to a specific field in the query:
In the Layout window for the template, select Insert, then Placeholder.
Save the template.
Close the Layout window and create a new report.
On the Query Builder – Templates page, select the template with the placeholder.
In the Placeholder Settings dialog box, map the desired query fields to the desired report section.
The mapped fields will appear in the report with the formatting defined for the placeholder.
