### Accessing the Expression Designer:

* Open Sale Voucher or any document.
* Navigate to the "**Setup Column Attributes"**.
* Here, you'll see a list of available columns that can be used to build expressions.
* Click on **"Add/Edit Expression Columns"** where you can write your expression using predefined functions.

### Writing Your First Expression

* Every expression must start with the script header: **'#@LSCRIPT**

<figure><img src="/files/K37bBe9AvTCKOiLXaocU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Click the (+) Plus icon to create a new expression.
* Fill in the required fields:&#x20;
  * **Expression Name** – A unique name for your expression.
  * **Expression Type** – Choose either **Text** or **Numeric** depending on the expected output.

* Double-click the new expression name to insert it into the script editor.
* Define the expression using the syntax:
  * Expression Name = WCASE("ITEM\_NAME")
  * Capitalize the **first letter** of each word in a field and convert the rest to lowercase.

* Save the expression.
* Scroll down and check the box next to your expression name to **enable the column** in the grid.

* The grid now shows the **item names in title case** (first letter capitalized, rest in lowercase).

* Ensure the **Script Editor** is set to **VBScript**.
