Tubing

The following computed attributes and methods are in the TubingLayout Knowledgeware dictionary. Not all methods take input parameters, and for those that do, the parameters are described in the Description column.

Whether you can see the value returned by the method depends upon how you are using it in Knowledgeware. For example, if you write a Knowledgeware rule or check causing a component to display differently based on the outcome of that rule or check, you won't see the calculated value; just the result of the calculated value.

You can see the value returned by a computed attribute in:

NOTE: The NLS names below are the default names provided by the application. You can change them as required.
