Procedure

To save an expression

1. Select the command for which you want to create an expression..
2. Create the expression.
3. When your expression is complete, click Options and select Save Expression.
4. In the dialog box that displays, specify a location and name for the saved expression file.

   The next time you save or load an expression, this location will be displayed by default. To share this saved expression with another user, send that user the file from this location.

   By default, the expression’s file name is the first element in the expression. All expressions use the file extension .fdq.

5. Click Save.

To reuse a saved expression

1. In your map, select the command for which the expression will be used.
2. Click Options and select Load Expression.
3. Select the saved expression file to open and click Load.

   The last location you used to save or load an expression will be displayed by default. You can navigate to a different location.

   The saved expression replaces whatever you may have entered in the expression area. Click OK to apply it.
