Run Time Functions can be used in certain Template expressions to return information about the report being generated.

For additional information on other functions and expressions in general, please see our Functions Guide and Expressions Guide.

There are many uses for Run Time Functions, but one example would be to add a "tracking code", such as in the footer area of a report. For example, the expression below could be used on a Master Template:

'Template: '+[Paging.TemplateName]+' / Strip Set: '+[Paging.StripSetName]+' / Produced on : '+text(now(),'MMMM dd yyyy')+' by OpenGround'
