The report
The COTG Timesheet Report template contains a Print context with one Print section:
Section 1 (see "Print sections" on page487) and one Master Page (see"Master Pages" on
page505).
Personalization is mostly done via simple text scripts. Such scripts look for a text surrounded
by @ (e.g. @city@) and replace that by the correct data. To add a text script you just drag-and-
drop data onto the template. (See: "Variable Data" on page801.)
The template also contains a detail table which is filled and expanded dynamically by the
scripts in the Table folder. To learn how to insert and edit such a table, see "Detail Table" on
page818.

To open one of them, select File > Open from the menu in the Designer and browse to the
Configurations\Resources folder.
