Issues creating a report template using a table format

TimWeisbrod — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 13:29:12 GMT

This is my first time trying to create a report template. I am not sure how to fix this error and I am looking for suggestions on that. I used the downloadable report template to provide syntax to insert into the following table, I keep getting the same error (Error: An error occurred when checking the report template. Failed to parse $(XXXayla_3_sample_is_taken_to) since XXXayla_3_sample_is_taken_to cannot be found in the current parsing scope.).

What that is saying is it can't find a matching field in the layer to pull data from. This can happen a couple of ways.

First, make sure the field name matches exactly, for example if you have a field "Location" and in the template call ${location} you'll get the error. Looking at your table is the "ayla" part of the name supposed to be "layer"?

Make sure you're using squiggly brackets {} and not parenthesis () when calling fields in the template.

Also, if the field is in a repeat and you call it outside of the repeat table/layer you'll get the error. If you have a repeat called "locations" with a field named "Location" you need to open and close the repeat table.

${#locations}

{Location}

${/}

Conversely if you opened a repeat and forgot to close it with the ${/} you'll get the error.

And finally, sometimes it just hates you. I've found that if you open repeats or if statements in a table it gets really finicky throws that error because it doesn't like that you used a Word header style to open it and closed it with the formatting set as a body style.
