Placeholder Objects

Placeholder objects

Placeholder items are used in many of the library templates provided with REPORTER . If you choose one of the templates from the Standard tab, you will see Placeholder items are used to predefine the page layout. Then, depending on what you want to add to the page, the Placeholder item can be converted into any other item type.

When using D3PLOT and T/HIS to capture plots and graphs, select a Placeholder item and then click Capture in D3PLOT or T/HIS . The Placeholder item will automatically be replaced by a D3PLOT or T/HIS item respectively.

You can also convert Placeholder items into PRIMER items, Tables, or indeed any other item type. Double-click on a Placeholder item to edit it, and then use the Convert into... drop-down menu to choose another type of item. When you click OK , the item will be converted.
