Dialog call:You have opened a project. Utilities > Master data > Form > Open > [Open].
- Insert > Placeholder text. Click [...] in the Property field in the Placement tab.
- You have double-clicked a placeholder text (or selected the popup menu Properties; in which case multiple placeholder texts may also be selected) and have clicked [...] in the Property field in the Placement tab of the Properties (placeholder text) dialog.
In this dialog, you can select the form type-specific placeholder text, which should be inserted into the form. During the evaluation of the form, EPLAN automatically replaces these placeholders with the corresponding values of project objects on which the report is being run, such as items, pages, symbols, etc.
Overview of the main dialog elements:
Depending on the current form type, all elements are shown here for which a placeholder can be defined. Select an entry in order to have the corresponding list of properties displayed in the right side.
For instance, if you select the Page properties element ("Table of contents" form type), then in the right-hand list you will see the subproperties Higher-level function, Page number, Suppl. field: Page, etc.
Note:
An index is possible for some elements, such as Part (source), and in this case, a plus sign is shown next to the element. If you click on that symbol, the list of possible indexed properties is expanded in the tree view, and you can select the desired property. Please note that this index does not necessarily reflect the index in the Part tab of the property dialog. If, for example, a part is entered in line 1 and line 20, you obtain the data of the second part in the report via index 2 (and not via index 20).
You can limit the display of subproperties by selecting an entry from this drop-down list.
For instance, if you select the Page properties element ("Table of contents" form type) and choose the "Revision" category, then in the right-hand list you will only see the revision-specific subproperties Created by, Creation date, Last editor, etc.
Into this field enter the text for which the properties are to be filtered.
If you want to return to the original view of the properties, remove the search term from the entry field. Click 
(Delete) to do so.
