Enhance the flexibility of the Record editor by binding inputs to view variables instead of record fields

As an application business analyst, you can create a view variable while designing a view to get more flexibility while managing data. You can bind a supported Record editor input to this variable instead of binding it to a record field. The value of the view variable can be used within the view. The changes to a variable will be reflected in the input that is bound to it. Conversely, the changes in the input will be reflected in the view variable to which this input is bound. For more information, see Creating or modifying view definitions

Add a named list to filterable grid columns in a record grid

As an application business analyst, you can assign a named list to a filterable grid column in a record grid if the field is not associated with a named list. You can also override the field’s default named list. A named list provides a predefined set of values that helps users filter and select data within a grid column more quickly. For more information, see Creating a tabular view of record instances by using a record grid

Create advanced search filters by combining AND, OR, and NOT operators

While creating search filters for BMC Helix Knowledge Management by ComAround articles, administrators can define advanced search filters that integrate logical operators AND, OR, and NOT within a single query. When your end users use these filters to search for knowledge articles, the workplace page returns only those articles that meet the search criteria. This capability helps users in the following ways:

  • Delivers the most relevant knowledge articles.
  • Reduces time spent sifting through unrelated search results.
  • Helps users apply the right solutions to the right context.

For more information, see Creating search filters for BMC applications.
