Field codes

A field code is a variable that is replaced with a specific field value.

You can use field codes in matrix reports. When you run a report, field codes are replaced with values from an item included in the report. For example, %SUMM% is replaced with the value from the item's Summary field.

In the desktop client, you can use field codes in email templates.

The following types of field codes are available:

• Issue field codes
• Requirement field codes
• Requirement document field codes
• Test case field codes
• Automated test run field codes
• Manual test run field codes
• Custom field codes

Note:  All dates use system-defined date formats. Helix ALM uses the short-date style of the regional settings properties defined in the operating system.
