The default layout does not include all of the placeholder options that are listed above, so feel free to go into the settings file and customize to your hearts content :) Heck you can even go in and gut everything and make a layout full of tracking placeholders if you wanted!
Maybe even share some of your job layouts here :eyebrowwag:
This was one of the first addons I made, just as a small "can I do it" test while I was learning and figuring things out. Originally it had a single layout that displayed specific things and no customization, it also relied on the Text addon in order to work. I recently went back and did an overhaul to it, removing the Text requirement and adding some minor customization giving the ability to to turn sections of the layout on or off. Then a week later did another major overhaul to it. I added the ability to customize the layouts (and per job now) via placeholders, and added the ability to track literally any item in the game without needing the items id number (that was a fun puzzle to get working). I'm now super happy with how it has turned out and ready to release it here. Any suggestions (for placeholders or otherwise), please let me know :)

Updated to Version 4.0
No changes to functionality, but I redid a lot of things to focus on efficiency. Much better now when tracking multiple items.

Anyway to add a distance measure? I’ve been looking for ways to measure sortie routes to see which routes are most efficient

I have that integrated with Bars so I hadn't thought about adding it to Informer. Will be easy to add though!

Will it work for like an aggregate, you start sortie and enable it, exit sortie and you see distance covered

Hmm... for what you're looking for I'm not certain of a good way to do that. I don't know of any way that measures the distance that a character has moved. I'm sure someone could finagle a way to do the math on time in motion and movement speed, assuming the character is running and not walking. Either way, that would seem to lay a bit outside of the scope for this addon.

Updated to Version 5.0
Informer is now more flexibler! Two new, independent bars you can use for any number of things. Make a bar down on the bottom right with Earth Time, Day, and Date. Place a bar above your FFXIDB minimap with the zone, region, and position, and center it too so it looks nice. Want to put a bar above your chatlog with the Targets name, HP%, and distance to it? Well you should go download Bars for that but yeah technically you could do it.
Changelog:
Added two new sub bars. These bars use the same placeholder system, have their own settings for visibility and position, are able to be centered, and can be hidden when there is no map for the current area (matching how the FFXIDB minimap functions). They are not tied to jobs like the Main bar is. (thanks github user Zorlac!)
Added sub1pos and sub2pos commands to set the position of the sub bars.
Added Region (thanks github user Zorlac!), Earth Day, and Earth Date placeholders.
Added settings to edit the earth data formatting.
Adjusted the layout structure in the settings file to accomodate the two new sub bars in addition to the main bar.
Adjusted Earth Time 12 and Earth Time 24 placeholders down to just Earth Time.
Renamed the pos command to mainpos to accomodate the two new sub bars.
Renamed the "display" table in the settings file to "options" to be consistent with my other addons.
Removed the default layout from the settings file as it wasn't actually used after the file is first created.
Removed the lock/unlock commands.
