Function fields are fields that are automatically filled with data. The fields provide the textual content dynamically to the print output. WebOffice plot author offers a great variety of function fields.
These function fields are in accordance with the available predefined function fields in WebAuthor. The functions fields can be inserted in the layout template and get configured and filled by the WebAuthor. The assignation of the right function fields is done by the ID of the field value.
For every function field from the WebOffice plot author menu, two user fields are inserted:
-a field for the caption
-a field for the value
Following function fields are available:
