Execute Function
An Execute Function operation specifies a Function to be executed. You configure this operation using the Execute Function window.
To specify a Function to execute:
-
Click Select and either choose a Function from the list of existing Functions for the object class or create a new one by clicking New and then selecting it.
-
Under Parameters, view the list of parameter values that are passed to the Function:
-
Default parameter values will display <Default> in red color.
-
Parameter values that have to be assigned will display <Double click to assign value> in red color.
-
For each parameter that has no value assigned and for parameters with default values you want to change, you must assign a value as follows:
-
Quickly assign one of predefined values:
-
Right-click the parameter row and select a value from the pop-up list, which contains the following items:
-
<Empty> - the placeholder for passing the empty value as the parameter value.
-
When the Function is executed from an Action: If the corresponding Action Form has virtual fields, the list displays the virtual fields of the same data type as the target parameter.
-
When the Function is executed from another Function: If the executing Function has its own parameters, the list contains parameters of the same data type as the target parameter.
-
If the pop-up list does not contain the value that you need, double-click the parameter row and set its value in the Assign Parameter window.
-
Keep the Enable operation check box selected to enable the operation. Otherwise, the operation will be disabled.
-
Click OK.
IMPORTANT: You cannot invoke a Function with missing parameter values. If a parameter value is missing, you must assign it.
