Accessing Non-Repeating Data

{text-data:text}{text-data} {get-data:text}{get-data}

Accessing Group-Data

{group-data:group} {text-data:text}{text-data} {group-data} {get-data:group.text}{get-data}

Accessing Table-Data or Repeating-Data

{table-data:table} || Table || | {text-data:text}{text-data} | {table-data} {repeating-data:repeat} {text-data:text1}{text-data} {repeating-data} {get-data:table.0.text}To access first row of table.text{get-data} {get-data:repeat.1.text1}To access second row of repeat.text{get-data}

Unlike Report Info, this macro can tell when it is inside a scaffolding Table Data macro or Repeating Data macro and will access locally-stored properties within the repeating section.
