-Each data type has its own characteristics and uses:
+The information in Evergreen's database can be classified in nine data types, formats that describe the type of data and/or its use. These were represented by text-only labels in prior versions of Evergreen. Evergreen 3.0 has replaced the text labels with icons. When building templates in _Reports_, you will find these icons in the Field Name Pane of the template creation interface.

-|Data Type |Description |Notes
-|id |Unique number assigned by the database to identify a
-record |A number that is a meaningful reference for the database but not
-of much use to a human user. Use in displayed fields when counting records or
-in filters.
-|text |Text field |Usually uses the Raw Data transform.
-|timestamp |Exact date and time |Select appropriate date/time transform.
-Raw Data includes second and timezone information, usually more than is required
-for a report.
-|bool |True or False |Commonly used to filter out deleted item or patron records.
-|org_unit |A number representing a library, library system, or

-name is on an org_unit or id data type.
-|link |A link to another database table |Link outputs a number that is a

-fields from the linked table. However, in some instances you might want to use
