Report input fields

The report input fields are the fields defined by the application as available for use on the report layouts, along with domain information. Domain information includes information about the data type and default formatting of the fields. The fields can be table fields, or calculated fields, which are determined by the print logic in the application.

You can define a sort mode on input fields.

This table shows the sort modes you can select:

Sort mode	Description
Ascending	The report sorts the printed records in ascending order.
Descending	The report sorts the printed records in descending order.
Presorted	The application is responsible for the order of the records that are printed. The report does not sort the records.

If no sort order is defined for an input field, the original order of the records is preserved. In that case, you cannot link Before Field or After Field layouts to the input field.

Additional input fields are customer defined fields, and fields that are added by the report extension.
