Automation V3: Using Functions
You can access Provar’s functions using Content Assist, which we recommend using to help prevent syntax issues. You can access Content Assist by selecting CTRL + spacebar or right-click and choose Content Assist. Provar will provide a list of possible options to choose from.
Usage
Functions generally have brackets {} after the function name. Functions requiring string parameters passed in should be within double quotes (“e.g.”).
Function definitions appear when a specific function is highlighted in Content Assist.
