Literal Command

Use the Literal command from the Insert menu to insert a literal value in your JADE Report Designer application layout.

To insert a literal value

1. Select the Literal command from the Insert menu.

   The cursor changes to a circle with a diagonal line across it. When you move the pointer to the design layout, it changes to a standard field rectangle, indicating that you can now place your field.

2. Move the cursor onto the report window. Click on the layout at the position at which you want to place the literal.

A field is then displayed, to enable you to enter your literal value. You can also insert and maintain fields by using the Catalog of Available Fields dialog. For details about inserting a literal and maintaining its properties, see "Inserting a Literal", earlier in this chapter.
