Insert Fields Dialog

The Insert Fields dialog appears when you select Insert > DBField/Formula/Parameter, or the button in the Value column of the Display Type dialog when the display type is defined as List or Drop-down List, or the button in the Value column of the Web Options dialog when defining the web options of a list or drop-down list in the configuration panel of a library component. It helps you to insert fields into a report, or to add fields to control values of the list/drop-down list item. See the dialog.
