Dynamic text labels are variables that are dynamically replaced with values at runtime. Dynamic text labels display the latest information without being manually updated
You can use Dynamic Text Labels to create these dynamically updated components:
Labels—Add dynamic text labels to label objects using the shortcut menu. See Label Object.
Headers and footers—For your JPG, PDF and hardcopy output, use dynamic text labels in the Print dialog box Headers/Footers tab. See Print Dialog Header/Footer Tab.
SQL statements—Include dynamic text labels in your SQL filter clauses as values. See SQL Spreadsheets.
Dynamic Text Tag | Default Tag | Inserts this item in the label object: |
|---|---|---|
Database Note | <<dbnote>> | A database note |
Cell Reference | <<cell 0,0>> | A cell reference string |
Page | <<page>> | A page dimension name |
Filter | <<filter 0>> | A filter member name |
Document Description | <<rd>> | A document description string |
Document Name | <<rn>> | A document name string |
Date/Time | <<date,MM-dd-yyyy>> | A date/time string |
Connection Name | <<cn>> | A database connection name string |
Username | <<username>> | A user name string |
UserID | <<userid>> | A User ID string |
After dynamic text labels are placed in the Insert Text dialog box, you can edit tags to display additional information.
