Note: The "From Related Object" in the Column definition shows properties from the Included source object. The default setting is set to No. If you change this setting to Yes, the related object and its properties are displayed in the reports.

For "Included object", i.e. Tag Instance in our example, properties like "Tag Name" and Tag Value are unique to "Tag Instance". Therefore you don't see "From Related Object" option.

However, the properties "Element ID" & "Element Description" belong to both "Included object" i.e Tag Instance & Related object i.e. "Element". Therefore you see "From Related Object"

By default "From Related object" is set to "No". Meaning, it will fetch values from "Included" object i.e. from Tag Instance in our example.

Click on Preview to see the results.
