Pre-defined information for legend headers
The following lists the tokens that appear in the Header Tokens list of the Custom Header or Post Processing Preferences dialog box. The tokens let you extract and display pre-defined information in the lines of a legend header in a post view. You can choose the order in which the pre-defined information is displayed, and add your own text before or after the pre-defined information.
