Working with Objects and Operators

Objects and operators get added to expression terms inside statements.

To add objects and operators:

1. In the yellow expression term for the statement, use the palette or click to select an object or an operator. Initially, you can select these objects:
   • node (for derived properties) or sourceNode (for property transformations)
   • request
   • lookupSets
   • currentProperty (derived properties only)
   • Boolean
   • integer
   • float
   • now
   • null
   • string
   • today

   You can also add the And or Or operators to a statement to link expression terms.

2. Select methods and attributes to your objects by clicking the dot next to each element and selecting from the drop down list. The fields that are available to be selected depend on the field's data type. For example, if you select a field after a node, you can select the node's ancestors, children, dimension, name, node type, parent, or properties. If you select a field after a dimension, you can select the dimension's name attribute. See Data Types for Expression Terms.
3. To remove methods and attributes from your objects, click the dot next to the element that you want to remove and select Clear.
