getFieldViewValue

This function is used when defining a content rule for a field. The value of a field for a content profile can be made dependent on a view by using this function. Because a field can have both a default and a derived value, the view can be used to create an interdependency between fields.

Type and Usage

• "Global Functions"

• "Content Profiles"

Parameters

Takes three parameters:

• Field. The name of a metadata field. This field must have an associated view.

• Value. A lookup key for value.

• Column name. A column in the view's table.

Output

Returns the value in the column specified using the field value as a lookup.

Example

In the following example, the view table for the field xEmployee has a column called type. Using the value as specified in the xEmployee metadata field, this function provides a lookup into this table and returns the type column value.

getFieldViewValue("xEmployee", #active.xEmployee, "type")
