Datafields

@assigned

  • parameter: a datafield

  • returns true or false

  • see also: @implemented and @cascade

Returns true if some value is assigned to the datafield (i.e., if the datafield is not equal to unassigned).

Tip: you can easily invert the behaviour of this special function: not(@assigned(#concept^datafield)) will return true if the datafield is not assigned any value.

In visual terms, the @assigned function actually boils down to the question whether the data dashboard shows the left side (= no value assigned) or the right side.

date and delivery-location are not assigned any value
date is assigned a value (so that @assigned(#order^date) would return true), while delivery-location is still not assigned a value
