The UI Designer has a set of reserved keywords. If one of your case fields uses a reserved word as a name, it will not appear for use in UI Designer. It must be renamed in order for it to appear.
If any unbound field is renamed to any of the reserved keywords, an error message appears warning you to change the field name. If a form that uses a reserved keyword is imported into the UI Designer, the form cannot be saved until those fields are renamed.
The following table shows all the UI Designer’s reserved keywords:
Rule | RuleSet | If | Set | Format | MSet |
Show | Refresh | CallJS | Alert | CallWS | CallSQL |
Invalid | DataTable | Filter | Filters | DataSource | ConfirmMsg |
Input | Output | Arg | Option ID | Option Text | myField |
AddHours | AddMonths | AddYears | Avg | Ceil | Count |
DateDiffDays | DateIIF | DateTime | DateToString | DecimalRound | DecimalToString |
Floor | GetChoiceId | GetChoiceValue | GetSessionValue | IndexOf | IntToString |
Length | Lower | Matches | Max | Min | NewGuid |
Now | Replace | Round | SetSessionValue | StringIIF | Substring |
SubstringBefore | Sum | Today | ToBool | ToDecimal | ToInt |
Translate | Trim | Trunc | Upper | UserName | Submit |
CallDT | InformMsg | AddDays | Date | Fill | Join |
Not | SubstringAfter | row_id | row_num | DeviceType | UserRole |
Be careful when renaming or removing case fields in eCASE. If you rename or remove a case field that is still in use by your form, it might cause your form to stop working. For example, if a rule was written to modify the value of a case field, and the case field is renamed, the rule will no longer work. The maximum length of a form field’s name allowed in UI Designer is 30 characters. UI Designer accepts case fields with name more than 30 characters, but any unbound field’s name in UI Designer should be not more than 30 characters (You should be careful when trying to rename the unbound fields).
