Displaying all functions in the Expression Builder
Build advanced expressions that automate calculations in your application by displaying internal functions and libraries from your entire system in the Expression Builder. By default, the Expression Builder displays only non-internal libraries and functions. You can display all functions in the system by overriding the pyShowInternalLibrary When rule setting.
Internal functions are not displayed by default, because they
are subject to change without notice. Use internal functions with caution. A function is
internal if the pyMethodStatus property of the library that stores the
function has the value of Internal. To check the
pyMethodStatus property, view the XML or the clipboard page of the
rule. For more information, see Viewing the XML of a rule and Using the Clipboard tool.
