Specifying fields or keywords
The AR System includes several actions that involve text:
- Sending a notification (filters and escalations)
- Sending a message (filters and active links)
- Running a process (filters, escalations, and active links)
- Specifying a macro parameter (active links)
As Developer Studio runs in a localized environment, you can include a field or keyword value in a character string by specifying the name of the desired field or keyword.
A C API program, however, can operate in multiple environments. Because field names and keywords vary across environments, you must specify the field ID or keyword code (which are environment-independent) to include one of these values in a character string. The following table shows the syntax for specifying a field or keyword value.
Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
