Content assist

You can also type the expression directly into the appropriate field of the workflow editor. If you are already familiar with BMC Remedy AR System server expression syntax, using content assist is a quick way to build an expression manually, but still ensure that field names, keywords, and other data types are spelled correctly and have correct punctuation.

The content assist feature pops up when you begin to type an expression. For example:

  • If you type a single quote (') in the field where are building an expression, content assist provides the list of available fields from the associated form. The following figure shows an example of this when building a Run If qualification.
  • If you type a dollar sign ($) in the field where are building an expression, content assist provides the list of BMC Remedy AR System server keywords.
  • If you press Ctrl+Space in the field where are building an expression, content assist provides a list of all the available data types.

The content assist list is grouped by data type, such as fields, keywords, and functions. Within each data type the list is sorted alphabetically.

The list is filtered according to any characters you have already typed so far. For example, if you enter S, the list is immediately filtered to show only the field names beginning with the letter "s" (such as Short Description, Status, and Submitter).

Warning

Note

If you type an incorrect character or click elsewhere on the screen, the content assist list might disappear. If this occurs, delete what you have typed so far and retype the quote, or dollar sign, or press Ctrl+Space, to reactivate it.
