The created settings documents of attributes are displayed in the view Data Sources in category with name of data source and marked by red color.

• Field Name;

Type a name for the attribute that is understandable for a user. For example: Contract Number, Contract Date, etc.

• Field @ Value;

Type a field name or an expression in Formula Language to compute the attribute value. The expression will be computed for a document of the data source at a reporting.

• Section Parameters;

Create parameters for the attribute if it's required. A parameter should affect result of computing the value for the attribute.

• Field @ Value with Parameters.

Use the names of created parameters when you type an expression in the field as own keywords. During setting a report the parameters names will be replaced with values chosen by a user.
