Output Field Name Attributes

Output field name attributes can be used in field expressions. For example, the expression below will "high cut" the AU field and output the kriged value to an AU_CUT field. The ?[<name>] prefix indicates an output field name attribute:

=?[AU_CUT] CUTHIGHS([AU], 6.0)

If an attribute has not been specified in an Output field expression, the user will be prompted to specify the name of the Output field:

This is then inserted into the field expression as an Output field name attribute:

Output field name attributes in Chart labels

Default labels in charts often use the input field name to label the data being plotted. If these fields are expressions, then the expressions will be used as the label text:

However, if an Output field name attribute is specified in a field expression, the attribute will be used as the label instead:

Output field name attributes and ad hoc wireframe sets

In functions that allow the selection of a single wireframe as input, the ability to create an "ad hoc" wireframe set by specifying an expression and or a wildcard in the Wireframe Name field is supported.

When an expression is used to load an ad hoc wireframe set in Vizex, the use of an Output field name attribute is supported, for example:

=?[High_Grade] [Name]=”High_*”

The wireframe layer will use the specified Output field name. Note that this only applies to the default form set, since a saved form set will use the name of the saved form as the name of the layer.
