Specifying fields or keywords

The AR Systemincludes 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.

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:


Important

Field IDs and keyword codes are not required when specifying a qualification string for the ARLoadARQualifierStruct function because it automatically translates all values for you.
