Setting the Dynamic Text Field dialog box options

Setting the Dynamic Text Field dialog box options

The Dynamic Text Field dialog box creates dynamic text fields.

To set the dialog box options:

  1. Select the text field to make dynamic from the Text Field pop-up menu.
  2. Click the lightning bolt icon beside the Set Value To box and select a data source from the list of data sources.

    The data source should contain textual information. If no data sources appear in the list, or if the available data sources don’t meet your needs, click the Plus (+) button to define a new data source. For instructions, see About dynamic content sources.

  3. Click OK.
