  1. In the Toolbox, click the Data Sources tab to show the Data Sources pane.

  2. Drag the Print Job Field data source that you want from the Data Sources pane to the location on the template where you want the object.

You can configure the properties of this data source by using the Data Sources property page of the Object Properties dialog.
