Fields
The /field/, /column/, /single/, /if/ and /hgraph/ keywords all require a field name to be specified. This field name determines where the report template gets the information to print. Some field names, such as Result and Level1, represent information that comes from a work file, others such as student and unit come from the information stored in SM-Reports.
All valid field names are listed below with a description of the source of the information in SM-Reports. Some fields coincide with the field in the Report Definition command, others from the commands School menu. Note the field names are not case sensitive and in a report template ResultMax is the same field as resultmax.
