Concepts

This section introduces some key concepts that are crucial to understanding how these functions work in PhixFlow. The concepts are should be fairly straightforward for anyone used to using excel, or any type of database. But PhixFlow is capable of supporting some complex transformations, where needed, and it is important that you are comfortable with these concepts before setting up elaborate function configurations.

...

Where a function can take, as one of its arguments, a list of values this is expressed in square brackets, e.g.:
function([value1, value2, ...])
See Arrays and Record Sets for details of how lists are handled in functions. Such a list is often called a vector. Indexes: always start at 1. Many functions return an index, indicating the position in a list at which a matched value has been found. E.g. see getElement.

To improve performance, the functions listed below can be evaluated by the client rather than the server. These are useful where you want an expression to be evaluated quickly, for example in formatting rules.

If an expression includes:

  • only the following, client-calculated functions, the whole expression is evaluated on the client.
  • any other function, the expression is evaluated on the server. 

Functions that can be evaluated on the client:

  • And
  • Contains (from version 8.2.6)
  • CountElements 
  • Do
  • Dot (e.g. _form.UID) 
  • Equals
