Text value

A text input field is displayed for text values.

Password

In a field for entering a password or password hash, the input value is automatically encrypted, or its hash value is calculated.

Prerequisite for encryption is the specification of a corresponding certificate of the type "Crypt" in the global configuration of the running program instance.

Numeric value

A text input field is displayed for numerical values. Only numerical characters can be entered.

Boolean value

An on/off switch is displayed for Boolean values, supplemented by a plaintext display of their value (true or false).

This display also serves as an input field if the value is to be defined with a constant.

Pick list

All available values of a configuration property are displayed in selection lists. You can select one of these values.

Alternatively, you can enter a constant directly in the field.

Multiple values

For properties with multiple values, all relevant input fields are listed.

Use the button to add an input field for an additional value. Use the button next to a field to remove the value for this field from the list.

The values can be moved within the list by drag-and-drop. Use the icon to grab a list entry.

Specifies a global configuration. It will only appear in the menu bar if a scenario configuration is open in the Configurator.

When you click this button, you can choose which global configuration to use for additional data in the editing of the current scenario configuration.

Such additional data might serve the purposes of selecting global constants, global web service users, or other such globally defined elements. Always select the specific global configuration that is used for executing the scenario at runtime.

Inserts an encrypted password value at the position in the input field, or overwrites the selected text.

This function can be used for fields in which a password only represents a partial value (e.g., in a connection string). Those fields that are just for passwords are automatically decrypted directly after plaintext has been entered. Decryption at runtime only applies to those configuration properties identified for this in this documentation and in the Configurator.

This button is available in the title bar of every input form.

§

Inserts a constant or a field/system variable at the position in the input field, or overwrites the selected text. The constant is what has been defined either in the current configuration or in the global configuration that was selected ( button).

This button is located directly alongside some input fields, in which case, it can be used to select special variables that are only relevant for the respective configuration property.

This button is available in the title bar of every input form.

Opens a value help.

Additional value help is available for some configuration properties (e.g., ones requiring special input syntax or the selection of an entry from a selection list).

Opens filter options.

Positive and/or negative filters can be defined in the filter options. To add a new entry, click on the button. Use the button to delete existing entries.

A filter entry can consist of a wildcard expression (with *, ? and #) or a regular expression (embedded in /.../). For more information on syntax, see Name Filter Syntax.

Opens the macro editor.

With the macro editor, you can select and test existing macro expressions.

For more information on how to use the macro editor, see Macro editor for internal macro functions.

Opens a value help dialog for selecting composite values.

The dialog offers options for field values that are made up of several sub-parameters (see Composite Value Syntax) and is structured generically, based on metadata.

Each input field represents one of these parameters and is labelled with its name. One of two syntax variants can be used for composite values; one transfers the parameter names and values, and the other transfers only the parameter values in the specified order. Use the Use names button to toggle between the two options.
