Saved expressions

You can create saved expressions and they are available in the Default Subject Area. If you create saved expressions, save them only to a Custom Subject Area that you have created. Do not add it to an Infor-provided Custom Subject Area. Also, Infor-provided saved expressions should not be modified as they may be updated during a future update,

You can create your own saved expressions if these rules are met:

  • Custom saved expressions should only be used in Custom Subject Areas that you have created.
  • Custom saved expression names should start with a prefix such as an abbreviation of your company name. However, the prefix should not be four characters long. Instead, use a prefix with a maximum of two or three characters.
    Note: The only exception for saved expressions with four-character prefixes are in the range of ‘excl K900‘ to excl K999’. These saved expressions can be used to extend the list of Finance KPIs. For details, see the ‘Extend list of Finance KPIs’ section in the Infor LN Analytics Foundation for Birst User Guide.
  • The saved expression should not be renamed in the custom subject area that you created. The saved expression name containing your prefix, must be renamed in the report.
