# Displaying Tags in a Report

Welcome to Example LabWhile Example Lab projects are resources for public use, articles and assets are not actively maintained. Screenshots and features are from the specified version below. These references may become dated as new versions are released.

---

## Overview

| ## Example Lab Details |
| --- |
| **Version** | 8.1.0.69234 |
| **Root Folder** | ExampleLab[DisplayingTagsInReport] |
| **Modules** | N/A |
| **Dependencies** | UserData [ExampleLabsDisplayingTagsInReport][DecisionsFramework.Design.DataStructure.SimpleDataStructure] |

The following Example Lab demonstrates how to display **String** values on a **Report** that are contained within tags (<>).

---

## Explanation

By default, Reports are configured to not display tag contained values to prevent potential security risks and sensitive information leaks.

The attached example contains a **Flow** that is designed to demonstrate how to format a "tag contained" **String** to allow display on a **Report**. This Flow utilizes a **ForEach Step** to iterate through and process each String value via two **Regex Replace** steps that replace the < and > values in the text with the same character, as well as an extra space following and preceding the tags respectively. These steps are fed into a **Create UserData** step that creates individual entries within the "UserData" **Database Structure**. This Database Structure is in turn used to populate the included **Report**. The Create UserData step that follows the **ForEach** loop is used to create an additional value that has not been processed to demonstrate that the value will appear empty on the Report.
