Inserting snippets

Updated in 2024.2

When you have personal or shared snippets, you can quickly insert any of them when filling out various forms. Snippets can be inserted into virtually any text field.

To insert a snippet into a text field:

1. Right-click the location where you want to insert a snippet and choose Snippets from the pop-up menu (alternatively, press F4). The Snippets pane opens.

2. Select the category that contains your snippet:

• Recent: Includes the snippets that you have inserted recently (both shared and personal)

• All: Includes all snippets, both shared and personal

• Shared: Contains all categories of shared snippets

IMPORTANT: To be able to use shared snippets, you must have the corresponding security permission, which is granted by the Alloy Navigator administrator.

• Personal: Contains all categories of your personal snippets

3. Hover over the snippet and click Insert.

TIP: If your configuration contains many snippets, you can use a standard filter box to navigate directly to the snippet you need. Type your text in the filter box that appears above the grid of snippets. As you type, the grid will show only those snippets that contain the entered text.
