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 : )
