Formula Editor common options
Options that are common to the views in the Formula Editor
The Formula Editor common options are:
- Insert
- Remove
- Up one Level
- Edit
Insert
Insert inserts an operator or a function before the component. The component is demoted to one of the operator operands or one of the function arguments. For example, if you click Insert before the sqrt function, you are asked what you want to insert and the following choices are displayed (Figure 1):
- An operator with sqrt(attr2) as one of the operator’s operands
- A function with sqrt(attr2) as the function's first argument
- A conditional expression with sqrt(attr2) as the true or false values
Figure 1. Insert window example
If you click Insert before the getenv function, you are asked what you want to insert and the following choices are displayed (Figure 2):
- Configuration property
- An operator with attr2 as one of the operator’s operands
- A function with attr2 as the function's first argument
- A conditional expression attr2 as the true or false values

Remove
Remove is available only for operators and functions, and is the inverse of Insert. When you click Remove, you are asked what is to replace the removed operator or function. For example, Remove before the sqrt function shows the following choices (Figure 3):
- An attribute or literal value
- The current argument 1, attr2
Figure 3. Remove function and its Arguments page
Click An attribute or literal value to discard the entire tree after the point that is being removed and replace it with a new attribute or literal value.
Click the second choice to promote the selected operand or argument to replace the removed operator or function. You can click subsequent choices if there are more arguments or operands. Any other operands or arguments are discarded.
Up one Level
Click Up one Level to move up in the tree.
Edit
Click Edit, before a complex operand or argument, to make it the component to be edited.
Click Up One Level after you click Edit to restore the current component to what it was before you clicked Edit.
