Documentation
Definition
Use
Means that the system invalidates the result of this expression after each query (in other words, it sets the result to invalid). This means:
- The system calculates the result of the expression anew with every query.
- The system calculates all used subexpressions anew.
This means that you can react to any changes in the context.
Attention:
If you set this indicator, you deactivate the cross-event buffering and therefore restrict the reuse of expressions. This can have a negative effect on performance.
For this reason, only set this indicator if both of the following conditions are fulfilled:
- The system calculates the expression several times within an event.
- The calculation of the expression is dependent on the context. This context can be changed while the event is being called (by actions, for example).
Dependencies
It does not make sense to set this indicator and the Application Buffering indicator simultaneously.
Example
In an expression with expression type Random Figure Generator you can calculate the random figure anew.
