Display Rich Text Data in Tables

Display Rich Text Data in Tables

Create a report design that uses Workday data of the type Rich Text.
When you drag a data set into a report design to form a table, each cell contains a
Data
 report item, by default. These treat text as a simple string and lose any rich text formatting that might have been applied in the associated Workday custom report. To display the correctly formatted text within your generated PDF, replace the cells'
Data
 report items with
Dynamic Text
 report items.
  1. Delete the
    Data
     report item from the cell in the table.
  2. Drag a
    Dynamic Text
     report item from the
    Palette
     view to the same cell.
  3. In the
    Expression Builder
    , select
    Available Column Bindings
     from the
    Category
     list.
  4. Select the
    Table
     element that corresponds to the appropriate data set from the
    Sub-Category
     list.
  5. Double-click the data set row that you require. Expression Builder inserts the appropriate expression in the
    Expression
     field.
  6. Click
    OK
    . Report Designer displays the expression within the dynamic text report item in the cell.
