Viewing and Updating Expression Dependencies

The Expression Dependency panel in Daily Job Definition displays the expression dependencies defined for the selected job. Each job supports up to two property expressions — a Job Expression and a Frequency Expression — and each field accepts up to 4,000 characters.

When the panel contains defined properties, a blue circular indicator () appears to the right of the panel name showing the property count. Select the full-screen button () at the far right of the panel bar to enter or exit Full Screen mode.

For background on expression syntax, refer to Property Expressions API Syntax.
