The Text field is the most commonly-used report field to display data. It is used to insert:

To add a data-bound text field using FlexReportDesigner application:
- Create a new report in FlexReportDesigner.
- Bind the report with the Products Table.
- Create a Group Header in which text field 'CategoryName' for the products will be displayed.
- Go to the Insert tab and click the Text field icon . All the Data Fields (bound to the data source) will be listed upon clicking dropdown.
- Add the 'CategoryName' data field to the group header section of the report.
- Preview the report.
To add an unbound (static) text label using FlexReportDesigner:
- Go to the Insert tab and click the Text field icon.
- Drag the crosshair on the design area of the report and draw the field in the section in which you want the field to appear.
- Click the field and enter the text you want to be displayed as a label.
