Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Process Definition form and field descriptions
On the Process Definition form, you define new Processes or edit existing Processes. Processes run code or expressions to perform the user selected actions
The field descriptions for the Process Definition form are:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
|
Process Name process |
Specifies the name of the process. (required) |
|
Save Cursor Position save.cursor.position |
Select this box if you want to return to the same cursor position after the action (for example on a fill). |
|
Run Standard Process when complete? run.standard |
When selected, then the system runs a standard process after completing the current action or Process. A standard Process such as save, for example. If you have created a save Process and want to run the save Process that comes with the Document Engine after completing the save process you defined, check this box. A standard process is defined in the base functions sections of this document. |
|
Run in Window? run.in.window |
When selected, the process runs in a separate window. |
|
Window Title window.name |
If the Run in Window? check box is selected, specify a title for the window. An scmsg expression can be used for localized window titles, such as scmsg(1980, "us"). |
In addition to the fields described above, there are also tabs on this form that allow you to further define the Process. These tabs are:
- Initial Expressions tab
- Initial Javascript tab
- RAD tab
- Final Expressions tab
- Final Javascript tab
- Next Process tab
Initial Expressions tab
The Initial Expressions tab defines the initial expressions that run prior to the initial Javascript and prior to the RAD calls defined on the RAD tab. The initial expressions are written using standard Service Manager expressions.
Initial Javascript tab
The Initial Javascript tab defines the initial javaScript expressions that run before the RAD defined on the RAD tab.
RAD tab
The RAD tab defines the pre-RAD expressions, RAD calls, and post-RAD expressions that run as part of the Process.
The field descriptions for the RAD tab are:
Note These fields are repeated for each RAD application defined on this tab.
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
|
Expressions evaluated before RAD call pre.rad.expressions |
Specify the expression to run prior to the RAD application defined in the RAD Application field. All parameter values passed to the RAD application must be in the form of variables or expressions. The variables must be assigned their values in the pre-RAD expressions; for example, $L.value.name="Test". |
|
RAD Application application |
Specifies the name of the RAD application to run. |
|
Condition rad.condition |
Specify under which circumstances the RAD application should be executed (condition evaluates to true) or skipped (condition evaluates to false). |
|
Parameter Names names |
Specifies the parameter names passed to the RAD application |
|
Parameter Values values |
Specifies the parameter values passed to the RAD application. These values must be in the form of variables or expressions. String values can be passed when enclosed in double quotes ( "Wizard Name"). |
|
Post RAD Expressions post.rad.expressions |
Specifies any RAD expression that will run after the RAD application completes. |
Final Expressions tab
The Final Expressions tab defines the final expressions that run after the RAD tab processing completes. The final expressions are written using standard Service Manager expressions.
Final Javascript tab
The Javascript defined on this tab runs after the final expressions and after the RAD applications on the RAD tab.
Next Process tab
This tab specifies the next Process or Processes to run when the current Process completes.
The field descriptions for the Next Process tab are:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
|
Next Process next.process |
Specifies the name of the next Process to run. |
|
Condition process.condition |
Specifies a condition associated with the Process in the Next Process field that evaluates to true or false. For example, true for the sm.close Process. |
