Scribe Tip of the Day
From the Scribe Idea Forum:
Likely the steepest learning curve with Scribe is in using formulas and most development work and troubleshooting is often focused around formulas as well. If the UI for the formula entry could be enhanced to make the structure of the formula more transparent, it would greatly help in these areas.
Even introducing support for Carriage Return and Tab in the formula text that would allow you to build the formula text split into lines and tabbed to reflect the structure of the logical operators would help quite a bit.
Answer:
One helpful capability along this line is that you can use <CTRL><ENTER> to add a carriage return to a data formula. Here is an example of how we are using this to construct complex formulas in the workbench.
Next post will be on Managing Complex Formulas Using User Variables.
Thanks Michael B for the reminder.
You have put forwarded a really brilliant fact that if the UI for the formula entry could be enhanced to make the structure of the formula more transparent, it would greatly help in using formulas and most development work and troubleshooting is often focused around formulas as well through this post. I am really impressed and liked this post so well. It’s really an interesting thing that can be used to add a carriage return to a data formula. The screenshot provided in the post shows the example of how they are using this to construct complex formulas in the workbench and is really helpful to understand it clearly.
