Control in a report

  • System date.
  • System time.
  • Number of the current page.
  • Page number/Number of pages.
  • Total number of pages in the report.
New in version 2025
Note: When a report is created, preset fields such as "Date" and "Page number / Number of pages" are automatically inserted in the report.
