Rules Insight

Rules Insight gives clear guidance on the function in use. The current required value is highlighted in bold, with a description of what the function expects for the argument.

Autocomplete

As you start typing a function, variable, constant, table or form control  in the rule builder autocomplete will display a list of suggestions.

The suggestions can be used to complete the entry by clicking on the required entry in the list.

Typing the start of a variable name within the function, filters the list to display all values that correspond to the entry.

Bracket Matching

Bracket matching allows you to see where brackets open and close. Easily identifying where a rule could be failing.

• Function - Set the color used to display functions within the rule.
