Static Property To A Dynamic Property to enable rules to be built on these properties.
| Variable Name | Value |
|---|---|
| DWQuotItemDesc3 | "With Side Rails" |
| Control Name | Value |
|---|---|
| QuoteItem | 3 |
| Property Type | Example rule | Example result | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rule Text | 1500+1750 | 3250 | DriveWorks evaluates the static rule from the Rule Text property. |
| Rule Text | "DWVariableQuoteItemDesc" & QuotationItemReturn | "With Side Rails" | DriveWorks will evaluate the rule once, resulting in DWVariableQuoteItemDesc3. As DWVariableQuoteItem3 is a Variable within the Project, DriveWorks takes the value of the Variable and drives this into the Constant. The Constant would be driven to say With Side Rails. |
The Output results for the examples would be:
| Output Name | Output Value |
|---|---|
| Evaluated Rule | 3250 |
| Evaluated Rule | "With Side Rails" |
