iFIX Experts allow you to perform many different functions at run-time,
and several of the Experts provide a check box that let you specify a
function in the run-time environment. The following table details the
Experts that you can use in the configuration environment that let you
specify run-time functionality.
NOTE: When using the
Use Database Tag(s) for Item(s) Selected in Run Environment option in
the experts, make sure that the object is highlightable, but not selectable.
If the object is selectable when the script is fired, the script looks
at that object for a data source and fails when it cannot find one.
