Do we need to add custom fields to each LU individually in order to include company-related data in standard reports? For example, if we want to display the company's web address on both the Purchase Order and Customer Invoice reports, do we have to add it separately to the PurchaseOrder LU and the CustomerInvoice LU?
Alternatively, can we use the Company LU and access the data in both reports?
Is there also a way to define a global variable for such data?

As I know, you have the API support with only the all-new IFS Report Designer Studio.
If you want to use dynamic values in the footer, you have only the possibility of getting the values via modified RDF. Custom Field might also be an easy solution if you have a limited number of report modifications required.
As far as I am aware Document Footer is the way to go.
You can define a footer to be used, and then connect it to all relevant documents.
Thank you for the response. However, is it possible to fetch data using API methods in the document footer without hardcoding the values?

You can then easily import this field into the RDL using Report Designer.

For the same reason of non-availability of the feature, we were told to use Crystal report.
As I see, you mentioned that it can be achieved by modifying the RDF. Is it possible to share further details on how it can be achieved? It will be really helpful if you can share me the sample RDF.

A quick response: just treat it as every other field on the RDF. In fact, there’s no specific setup for only headers or footers. Once you’ve added your field into a RDF properly, it will bring the data into the data XML, as well as on the schema, i.e. it will start showing up in the Report Designer too.
Then, you can add that to the footer\header as your wish.
Please try it. If that doesn't work, please get back.
