Expression-Defined Properties

Create functional Expressions which automatically evaluate element Property values, based on one or more of the following:

Built-in and custom element properties and parameters

The element’s model environment (e.g. data from the surrounding Zone, or that of its parent Hotlink Module)

Global settings (e.g. Project Info).

Use a wide range of function types (many will be familiar from Excel) to generate the property values you need. Display the property values in schedules, labels, and Zone Stamps.
