Reporting - Fields

Within report templates, information is populated from the Reportance file by using special fields. These fields let you build a generic report that you can use for all entities. They can be used to perform simple tasks, such as returning a report title or entity name. 

Fields can be used anywhere in Reportance that you can create or edit content (see the knowledge article: Report Content Editor). They can also be used in titles, headers and footers. Below is an example of how fields have been used in a 'Paragraph' in the Compilation Report template to return names and dates:

Note: Each field must be wrapped within two sets of curly braces as shown by: {{text}}

Note: To return subsets of properties, use the '.' syntax between each property. For example to return which state an office is in you would use: {{Office.Address.State}}

Note: All fields are case sensitive.

*The following shows how date patterns can be used in the above fields to display in the format you require:

Reporting Tags

If statements

Within a report an 'If Statement' can be used to return different text. 

The following example takes a True/False variable and returns the text "Are" if True and "Is" if False: 

{{#if Entity.ResponsiblePlural}}are{{#else}}is{{/if}} 

The following example checks to see if a property exists and returns an ABN {{Entity.ABN}} if it does exist and blank if it does not exist: 

{{#if Entity.ABN}}ABN {{Entity.ABN}}{{/if}}

Uppercase/Lowercase

You can use 'uppercase' and 'lowercase' in a tag to convert the contents of a string to that case, for example:

{{#lowercase Entity.EntityType}}
