DateTime stamp on reports...

I have created a report in my map to display attributes of the selected features.  This is so great except that the DateTime object doesn't work!  It works in my printed map I made in the same map application!  I have tried copy/pasting the DateTime object from the map template as well as creating a brand new one in my report.  I looked in depth at the properties of this object and found nothing that was different between my map and the report nor any property that stands out as needing to be set.....  And of course the help documents are useless.

 

What am I missing and why doesn't it work??

  Hi Jacqueline,

  The "Date Time" object was left out of the Dataset that gets used when you run a layer report.  This is a bug with Essentials and I will submit it into our system.

  In the meantime, you can add a calculated field to your layer report that will do the same thing.  In the report explorer in the upper-right, expand Fields and Calculated.  Right-click Calculated and select Add.  The new calculated field is named _DateTime .  Its FieldType is Date and the Formula is =System.DateTime.Now:
