Organizing Expression Editor Statements with Drag and Drop

Every Expression Editor statement and connector has a drag handle which you can use to rearrange an expression. You can drag and drop a statement to move it into a different nested layer, or, if you want to move a group of statements, you can drag and drop the connector that is linking the statements together.

To drag and drop an Expression Editor statement:

  1. Click and hold a statement’s drag handle to drag and drop.
  2. Drag the statement into the group of statements you want to move it into until a dashed border appears to indicate the target area. Dropping while hovering over another statement will land the statement after the target. To drop a statement at the top of the target group requires that users drag and drop on top of the group connector.
  3. Release your click-hold to drop the statement in the target area.
  4. Note: Dragging and dropping a statement without moving it to another nested group can be done to rearrange the order of statements for your visual preference. Doing this will not affect the order in which RL6 analyzes the completed expression.

To drag and drop a group of statements:

  1. Note: Dragging and dropping a group of statements by its connector allows you to move the group to another nested level in an expression, but it does not allow you to merge groups of statements together. Currently, groups of statements can be merged together only by dragging and dropping each statement separately (To drag and drop an Expression Editor statement:).
  2. Click and hold a connector’s drag handle to drag and drop its group of statements.
  3. Drag the statement into the nested level you want to move it into until a dashed border appears to indicate the target area.
  4. Release your click-hold to drop the group of statements in the target area.

    Note: Dragging and dropping a group of statements within the same nested level to rearrange the order of groups can be done for your visual preference. Doing this will not affect the order in which RL6 analyzes the completed expression.
