Using Constraints in an Expression
Fields that are used in a constraint set can be configured to use their hierarchical relationship in Expression Editor, in advanced search or when defining report conditions, for example. When a constraint field has been enabled for this purpose, the drop-down arrow becomes a magnifying glass.
To use constraints in an expression:
- Access Expression Editor (Expression Editor Overview).
- Select a field from the drop-down list that is associated with a constraint set. You will see a magnifying glass in the Select Value field. The RL6 AdministratorThe person in charge of managing and maintaining RL6. must also enable the constraint to be used in expressions
