EasyEdge Expression Assistant

The Expression Assistant is built into EasyEdge to make working with expressions faster, easier, and less error-prone. It helps Users at every stage of expression creation — from discovering available functions to validating syntax in real time.


Discover Functions and Variables

As soon as you start typing, the Assistant suggests available functions (such as abs, avg, cos, split, parse, etc.) and available variables mapped to your Tags or Data Fields. This ensures you can quickly build expressions without needing to memorize every function name or syntax.


Build and Validate Expressions

When creating expressions, the Assistant provides inline feedback to guide you as you build.

Error feedback

If the syntax is incorrect or an identifier is unknown, the Assistant highlights the problem so you can correct it immediately.

⚠️ Invalid Expression If the syntax is incorrect, the Assistant highlights the error so you can fix it before deploying.

Success feedback

When the expression syntax is correct, a confirmation bar validates that the expression is ready to use.

Valid Expression Validation before saving ensures fewer errors and gives you confidence your logic is correct.


Why It Matters

  • Faster workflow → Functions and variables are suggested automatically.

  • Fewer errors → Syntax validation and error highlighting guide you before saving.

  • More confidence → A clear confirmation ensures that the expression will behave as expected once deployed.

💡 With the Expression Assistant, even complex expressions become intuitive, helping you focus on outcomes instead of memorizing functions or debugging syntax.
