The Insert Field dialog appears.
3. Select the type of field you want to insert from the Type drop-down list.
If you select Date & Time, click Date & Time Format, select a format from the
list in the Date & Time Format dialog, and click OK.
Note: Once you publish the site, the date on the final HTML
page does not change automatically. It only changes if you
modify the site in NetObjects Fusion and publish again.
This is true of all variables.
If you select Site & General and choose Author, you must type the author’s
name on the META tags tab of the Page Properties panel. See “Setting META
Tag Properties” on page 50.
4. Select the specific field to insert from the Field list.
5. Click OK in the Insert Field dialog.
Creating a User-Defined Variable
A user-defined variable is text or a phrase that is subject to change. For example, if
you need to refer to quarterly sales figures, you can create a user-defined variable
and insert the number as a field. As the figure changes each quarter, you can edit
the field as described in “Editing a Variable” on page 862, and NetObjects Fusion
automatically updates the name wherever it appears in your site. You can only
create plain text variables. You cannot reference internal NetObjects Fusion fields,
such as page names, asset names, or object properties.
