Inputting Values using Dollar ($) Notation

If you enter a "$" in fields which expect VB.Net expressions, a wizard opens. All properties of the current object are displayed. You can also see a tooltip with a detailed description of the property. If you select an FK column, you can navigate to the columns of the associated table using the arrows keys. Exit the selection on the target column with Enter or by double-clicking. The complete $ notation for your selection should now be shown in the input column. Use Esc or exit the input field to close the list without accepting any data.
