Definition

Screen area of the Report Designer.

Use

All query fields, filters, variables, and text elements for the data provider (query or query view) on which the report is based are displayed in the field catalog. The field catalog also contains the list of custom texts created by users, which were inserted into the header area of the report, for example, as well as report fields that you can use to insert page numbers into your report.

Using the field catalog, you can insert or reuse query fields or text elements for the data provider that were deleted from the report, for example, at any time with drag and drop. You can also work with custom texts and report fields in the same way.

Structure

The following elements are listed in the field catalog:

      Custom fields

      Query fields

When the data provider is opened, the query fields are grouped into characteristic fields and key figure fields.

      Text elements for the data provider, such as Last Changed By, Key Date, Query Description, and so on.

      Filter elements (see also Filter) that you can insert into the header area of your report, for example.

      Variables, which are filled with the actual values entered at the runtime for the report.

      Report fields such as page numbers or the total number of pages in a report, which can be freely positioned in the report.
