What do you like to print on the bottom of reports?

When reading the code below, please note that: {sample_text} means optional.

On the left might be…
"Printed <<$$date.formatted>>{ at <<$$time.formatted>>}{ by <<$$accountName>>}{ from <<$$userName>>}"

"On the right might be “{{PageNumber}}{ of <<$$total pages>>}"

In the center might be "LayoutID <<$$ID>>”

2 of the 3 text blocks above could be built as…

<<$$report.metadata.left>>
<<$$report.metadata.center>>

…from Scripts.

Using merge variable instead of global fields would afford good code portability.

It does not seem as if you can get the {{PageNumber}} to render within a $$var...so that the text on the right would be hard coded on the layout.

Thoughts?

I manually add a layout name, version # and last modification date to all layouts in very small type, something like
"Invoices Master List 2.1 modified 2020-01-02"

On the left: "This end is the bottom". On the right: "This side faces up"
