Report Name in Merge Document?

2
Is there a Lava Syntax method to pass a Report Name or DataView Name to a Merge Document so that the source of the information can be displayed?

    That is certainly a very helpful start, thank you. Still, I don't necessarily know from which report or dataview the merge was called. If I knew the report id ahead of time and could hard code it, I wouldn't need Lava (I would just hard code the report name). How do I query the report ID that was used to initiate/call the document merge?

      You could potentially get it from the query string, using the assign command:
      {% assign reportId = PageParameter:'ReportId' %}'


      Other than that you'd have to add a Lava field on the Report itself with that information to pass into the merge document.

      You can get that information with Lava, but you'll need to use a specific entity command to do so.

      Something like this should get you started:

      {% report where:'Id == 1' %}

           {% for report in reportItems %}

               {{ report.Name }}

          {% endfor %}

      {% endreport %}
