Attribute and Method Browser

This browser is used to construct and insert IvyScript expressions for IvyScript text fields or areas in inscription masks. Those expressions are based on the process data in the context of the current step.

In the upper left area, you can choose between the different process attributes in the current context (such as in, out, param, result or panel). Depending on the selection, you can add a corresponding method to the expression in the upper right area and the help area displays information to the selected attribute/method. The constructed expression can be previewed in the insert text box at the bottom and be inserted into the inscription mask by clicking on the button insert.

Tip

By default only the most common attributes/methods are displayed. With the visibility_level button you can relax this filter in two steps. The same may be configured permanently in the workspace-preferences-ivyscript.

This category contains the Axon Ivy base types. These types may be used within IvyScript without any restriction. Note that for convenience reasons database Record and Recordset, XML, Tree and List types are supported out of the box.

Selecting List<?> will bring up another data type browser where you specify the type of the list members.

Here you can find all other types that are available in your project. This includes all Data Classes that you have created, all classes that were generated from Web Services and all other Java classes that are on the build path.

Start typing the name of the desired type to get suggestions in the list. On the bottom, you may limit the suggestions to only custom Data Classes or Web Service classes.

Tip

In the filter, you can use * (any string) and ? (any character) as wild cards.

Tip

To switch between the tabs, use the shortcuts Alt + Left, Alt + Right or Ctrl + Shift + T.

To change the focus from the filter to the list, press the Tab or Arrow-Down key
