How to display a variable value in WAD?

Question

I am using a replacement path variable to filter a report by project number. While this works fine, the project number is not easily visible (only via Filter -> Display All Filter Values and this only displays the description, not the key).
How can I display the key and the description of the project number variable at the top of the report?
Thank you,
Dennis

The first part is right -
1) drag a text element onto the page, at a location in which you want the variable value to be displayed
2) On the left hand bottom page - go to the web item properties for the text element
3) scroll down to the specific properties for the item - in that uncheck the first two check boxes - display general text elements & display static filter values
4) in the next item in the properties (List of text elements) click once on the box where List is written and then clcik on the small browse button that appears.
5) in the window that opens, in the element type field, select variable/variable value as key (as per your requirement) and then under the element ID field type in the technical name of your variable that you want to display.
click ok and save your template and try executing it.
See if this solves your problem.
