How to make a footer with fields ?

uriah

Im composing a workflow where the end is a pdf output and I got 4 fields that will need to be in the footer of each page. The fields have different values in each pdf - since all the info comes from different records.

 

The example says that you can enter [CurrentYear] and that works. But when i try my fields, the footer just has the field names instead of values. 

How does one get other dynamic fields in there?

Double check that the way you have it matches the example. Otherwise if you want more flexibility with your footer, use a Report Text tool instead!

There is no dynamic Footer in my knowledge, so I used the Reporting text instead.
Maybe this is not exactly what you want, but I hope it works somehow for you.
