On the background color of forms.

Top  Previous  Next

Some of the forms that appear in the Action Properties appear with a white background, while some appear with a light yellow background color.

 

 

The distinction is significant and deals with the contents that are entered in the entry forms.

 

The genera rule of thumb is:

 

In White background entry forms the properties entered are either pure text that is interpreted and used in 'as is' basis from the application or expressions (inside % marks) that contain variables which are evaluated by the application when the job runs.
In the Yellow background entry forms the contents are variables that, for example,  will hold a specific result of the action or will play a  specific role in the job, and are entered without enclosing them in % signs.
