...

In addition to IMAGE PLACEMENTS you can also use FIELDS to place results from table queries in the prints.
The SCALE field is replaced with the scale of the map.
RESULTS_STARTRESULTS_HEADERRESULTS_BODY and RESULTS_END fields are used by Earthlight to fill the space with query result similar to Result Box.
RESULTS_STARTRESULTS_END fields are control fields for Earthlight to know that between these two fields there may be multiple lines of results. These fields must always enclose the RESULTS_HEADER and RESULTS_BODY fields.
The latter two are the ones that will actually present the results. They can be styled – you can change their font, size, make them bold or underlined, anything you want.RESULTS_HEADER is the field that will be replaced with the names of the column headers. The RESULTS_BODY will be multiplied as many times as many records there are to answer the query.
