Static values are the fixed pieces you type directly into an expression, as opposed to values that come from variables or other elements. They are the constants your expression works with.
Three kinds come up most:
- Numbers:
20,1.5. - Text, wrapped in backticks:
`Special offer`. - Colours, as a hex code in backticks:
`#0050ff`.
For example, in text1.bottom + 20 the 20 is a static value, and in IF(isMember, `Member`, `Guest`) both labels are static text.
In the expression editor's Builder view, the Static tab inserts these fixed values as blocks. In Code view you just write them inline, remembering the backticks around text and colours.
