Expressions

Expressions are created by combining data fields with operands and Functions, and they are used on the Configuration tab of many actions to define filters and other components that define the action. For any configuration component that allows an expression, you can build the expression directly within that component, or you can use the Expression Editor.

To define an expression directly in an action’s configuration tab:

• Begin building the expression by dragging a field icon from the action’s Table Fields area (or other permissible source) to the space that will contain the expression, or by typing the first few characters of the field or function name and then selecting the field or function from the list of matching results:

  

  As you introduce additional fields to the expression, an operator icon is added between the fields.

  

• Right-click on the operator icon to choose a different operator.

  

• Enter a single quote character to add a Add a typed field to an expression where appropriate.
