Report Text Tool

Hello Folks.

I have noticed that in the report text tool when referencing a column, they use [column:A]. What is the reason for the usage of :A. I am getting the same result with [column] without :A. Can anyone explain what is functionality of :A? Unable to find any documentation on that.

Thanks

Hi @KGS ,

There is no clear documentation online that i was able to find on this.

But here is the understanding.

Character after : is the configuration.

Where :A - is auto set by default for all strings and date datatypes

:0 - Zero decimal set for all integer

:1 - one decimal. Only float gives you the option to set configuration.

The workflow is attached. You can only set configuration of Float among these datatypes.

Hope this helps : )
