Adding a Drill for a Variable Field 

Variables in reports can have drills associated with them. Drills are used to go further into reports, by drilling into a more detailed report from the output of the initial report. Drills can only be used if the report is sent to the screen. They appear as red text on the screen.

Drills can also be used to run a file update program to update data, e.g. in the Debtor master file or Item master file.

1. Complete the steps for adding a variable field.
