Adding the Key Field to the Report Template
The key field for the logo image is the file name in brackets e.g. {IMG1}. Always use uppercase letters for key fields. The system does not recognize key fields with lowercase letters. The document template inserts images inline, which means the image pushes text around it. Enter the key fields into a transparent table in your template to maintain proper formatting. The report templates are in the Common folder.
In the report template document, Enter the key field in the desired location of the logo and Click Save .
