Range Functions

Use range functions in input columns to simplify data entry and create smaller models for faster application load time. For example, instead of creating three separate rows in a Configuration table to create a rule that displays an exception message when a user selects the colors red, blue, and green, you can create one row and enter the range function (=Red,Blue,Green).

NOTE:  For rules involving more than one code value, the syntax (=bm*) cannot be used; doing so will cause an error when generating HTML files in eAdvisor. Instead, use the syntax (=bm1,bm2,bm3) or (=*).

Table 1 shows examples of range functions:
