The word element is used in the documentation to describe individual report components such as database fields, formulas, and group fields. The Design Tab uses rectangular frames to represent fields.
An embedded object contains a presentation of the object, all of the data pertaining to the object, and information about the application used to create it. When you modify the original object in the server document, nothing happens to the embedded object unless you specifically update that object.
An empty date [designated as Date (0, 0, 0)] is a date that contains neither month, day, or year, and thus does not print. Use an empty date in If

An empty number [designated as zero (0)] is a field value that is typically printed when a value does not meet a specific condition in a numeric If
If {file.FIELD} = 3.5 Then {file.FIELD} Else 0
you are specifying that the numeric Gradepoint be printed (Then) if the grade point is 3.5 or higher. You are using the empty number 0 to indicate that 0 is to be printed (Else) if the grade point is below 3.5. Often a user will format the field that contains this formula to be suppressed if 0. In this event, nothing gets printed in the case of a zero value.
An empty string (designated as "") is a string that contains no characters. Use an empty string to specify that nothing be printed. For example, in the formula:
If {file.FIELD} = 3.5, Then "Cum Laude" Else ""
you are specifying that the words Cum Laude be printed (Then) if the grade point is 3.5 or higher. You are using the empty string "" to indicate that nothing is to be printed (Else) if the grade point is below 3.5.
Evaluation time refers to the stage in the reporting process when a formula gets evaluated. The three evaluation time functions are:
