STEP-FIRST('dataname')
Step User First Name

Returns the first name of the user that decided the result (if any) of the named Process Step field

STEP-LAST('dataname')
Step User Last Name
 

Returns the last name of the user that decided the result (if any) of the named Process Step field

STEP-COMPLETED()
Last Completed Step [BETA]

Returns the name of the Step most recently completed in the process.
If no Step has been completed as yet (e.g. in a brand new Form entry in progress on the app), then this function returns a blank value.

This function is ideal for use in Connectors because it will always return a value (since a Step is completed as soon as the entry is uploaded).

PI()
Pi

Returns the number 3.14159265358979, the mathematical constant Pi, accurate to 15 digits.

DEGREES(angle)
Degrees

Converts radians to degrees

RADIANS(angle)
Radians
 

Converts degrees to radians

SQRT(val)
Square Root

Returns a number which, when multiplied by it self, will produce the given value.

LOG(val, base)
Logarithm (log)

Returns the exponent to which the given base must be raised to produce the given value.

SIN(val)
Sine
 

Returns sine of given radian angle value.
If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.

COS(val)
Cosine
 

Returns cosine of given radian angle value.
If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.

TAN(val)
Tangent
 

Returns tangent of given radian angle value.
If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.

ASIN(val)
 

Returns the arcsine, or inverse sine, of a number.
The returned angle is given in radians in the range -pi/2 to pi/2.

ACOS(val)
Arccosine
 

Returns the arccosine, or inverse cosine, of a number.
The returned angle is given in radians in the range 0 (zero) to pi.

ATAN(val)
Arctangent
 

Returns the arctangent, or inverse tangent, of a number.
The returned angle is given in radians in the range -pi/2 to pi/2.

SINH(val)
Hyperbolic Sine
 

Returns hyperbolic sine of given radian angle value.
If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.

COSH(val)
Hyperbolic Cosine
 

Returns hyperbolic cosine of given radian angle value.
If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.

TANH(val)
Hyperbolic Tangent
 

Returns hyperbolic tangent of given radian angle value.
If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.

TODAY()

TASK-FIRSTAVAILABLE()

Returns the 'First Available' automatic user assignment identifier.

Useful for creating new Tasks that are randomly assigned to the first available user.

Also handy to use as a Process Step field's 'Send Form To' value.

The optional parameter allows you to restrict the Task assignment to only users within the given User Group name or external ID.

Examples of use:
 

TASK-FIRSTAVAILABLE() will assign randomly to first of all available users
 

TASK-FIRSTAVAILABLE('mygroup') will assign randomly to first available user in User Group named 'mygroup'
 

TASK-FIRSTAVAILABLE({{myfield}}) will assign randomly to first available user in User Group name/ID matching the answer of field with name 'myfield'

TASK-FIRSTTOCLAIM()

Returns the 'First To Claim' user assignment identifier.

Useful for creating new Tasks to be performed by the first user to claim.

Also handy to use as a Process Step field's 'Send Form To' value.

The optional parameter allows you to restrict the Task visibility to only users within the given User Group name or external ID.

Examples of use:
 

TASK-FIRSTTOCLAIM() Task will be visible to all users
 

TASK-FIRSTTOCLAIM('mygroup') will be visible to users in User Group named 'mygroup'

TASK-FIRSTTOCLAIM({{myfield}}) will be visible to users in User Group name/ID matching the answer value of field with name 'myfield'

HTTPSTATUS({{restField}})

Returns the HTTP status code received when the given REST field last performed a REST request.

e.g., If the REST field named 'myRestField' executes a request successfully then HTTPSTATUS({{myRestField}}) should return a value of '200'.
