Fields allow various pieces of information or metadata within your document to be automatically inserted into the document text. Fields will automatically update as data (for example, a date) changes.
Fields can be used to insert relevant section information. For example, adding a Name or Page Number field from the Fields panel's Document Sections to a master page footer will automatically display the correct data for each page and each section.
Items that may be inserted as fields can be found in the Fields panel (accessed by opening the View menu, then selecting Studio, followed by Fields).
Available fields include:
Document Information—displays the Author, Tags, Comments, Title, Subject, and Revision.
Document Statistics—displays key statistics for the document: Last edited by, Created, Saved, Printed, Save Count, Filename, Path, and Total Pages.
Document Sections—displays the following for each section of the document: Name, Page Number, Last Page and Run Last Page.
Continuation— displays the Previous Frame and Next Frame.
General Information— displays the current Date & Time.
Data Merge (data source file name)—dynamically displays fields from a currently connected external data source.

On the Fields panel, expand a field section, e.g. Document Information.
