Auto-suggestions in Expression Editor

When creating statements in the Contract Express Mark-up Language (CEML) within the Dictionary Editor or when inserting a Field/Span, Contract Express Author offers suggestions of possible variables, variable values, functions, existing lookup tables or operators that can be applied to a statement as you type. These smart suggestions will attempt to complete statements using existing Variables and their values within the Dictionary of the template along with operators, existing Lookup Tables and built-in/custom Functions.
Within the expression editor, the auto-suggestion feature (also called code completion) is triggered once you begin typing and the list of suggestions filters down as you continue to type.
To select a suggestion simply double click on the desired item or use the keyboard down arrow to scroll through the list and hit Enter to select the item. Highlighting a Variable in the suggestion list will display the Question attribute of the Variable. Similarly built in functions and db parameters will display some help when highlighted.
