To test a pre-defined function, the system must know that you are authorized to run the function and are not abusing the existing function permissions.
To test a function:
- Click Test in the Value or Indicator tab of the Cell Properties dialog box, or in the Data Source dialog box.
- In the resulting Select Item or Select Portfolio dialog box, select an item or portfolio to test the function.
- Click OK. The Test Result message box informs you of the success or failure of the function test. In either case, the actual cell is not updated.
- Click OK to close the Test Result message box.
If a test fails to run because of insufficient security permissions, you can change them (refer to Changing Function Permissions).
