21.3.2 Setting Layout Data Loop Name

Set the layout’s Data Loop Name to match the short name used in the report template.

While each Report Query source specifies its own Data Loop Name, when pairing a layout with a report region, set its short name in the layout definition itself. As shown below, the Employee Directory layout specifies dir as its Data Loop Name to match the tags used in the template. It also includes the emp_directory.docx Word document as the template file.
