New Functions for Web-Authored Rules

Additional functions have been added for web-authored rules.

When writing rules in a decision service or flow project, you can now use:

• the Sort function to sort the records in a record list according to the specified sort parameters

• the Reverse function to return the records in a record list in reverse order

• the Exclude function to take a record list and one or more record or record lists of the same object type and return a new record list consisting of all the records in the first record list that do not appear in any of the subsequent record or record lists

• the Combine function to take a set of records or record lists of the same object type and return a new record list containing the unique set of all the record in the provided parameters

• the Concatenate function to combine the value for each of the records in a record list into a single text value delimited by a specified separator

• the Trim function with a text value to return that value with any white space at the beginning and end of the text removed

• the IndexOf function to return the index of the record in a record list

• the GetAt function to return the specified record in a record list at the specified index

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
