Combined field IDs
To help you build custom reports more efficiently, Point includes the most common fields in
the Field Name dropdown list on the
selected, the
some cases a field name with a corresponding field ID is not available from the dropdown
list so you must enter the field name and ID manually.
Individual user controls, such as check boxes and radio buttons, are each assigned
unique field IDs. If the report template included each individual field ID for groups of
controls where a selection was required, all options would be included in the report rather
than the selected option. To circumvent this problem, field IDs for groups of controls were
established that run macros that extract the selected option and insert it into the report.
Field IDs with macros were also created to extract information from a single screen that
contains multiple fields for the same information.
To include this type of data in your report, you must use the ID that was assigned to that
group of fields or controls rather than the unique ID for the selected field or option.
For fields with calculated values, the field must be calculated at the time the report is
generated to ensure that the value included the report is correct. New IDs were

offers several options to classify the race of the
borrower. Point must be able to identify which options were
selected for each file when the report is generated. To ensure that
the correct information is extracted for the report, the HBRACES ID
is provided which bundles the options together under one ID and
extracts the selected options to include in the report. Therefore,
when you create your report template, you must manually enter

Example 2:
Conditions
The
screen contains fields to enter multiple conditions
and their contingencies. Because the fields on this screen have
different IDs but contain the same type of information, Point must
somehow ascertain that the information is the same and should be
aggregated in the report. To ensure that the correct information is
combined for the conditions, the CN ID is provided in Point. When a
report that contains this ID is generated, a macro is initiated which
combines the data that was entered in the
