Function

Description

Examples

ADDXML(String xml)

This function adds XML structure to the present element. This function is used when the source application doesn't expose their fields in their API then a . A user can map the field by modifying the XML structure to post back. This will add the XML on the root node of the target XML structure.

Mapping: <TargetField> = { ADDXML("<xml element>" + VALUE("sourcefield") +

 "</xml element>");return "";}

Example: Database fields 
Trigger: select id,firstname from contactContact.

The above query fetches id, firstname from contact the Contact table of the database.

The table also has a field of "contactaddress" and so field. As a result, the query will not populate the

"contactaddress" field in the target schema.

Name = {ADDXML("<address>" +VALUE("ContactAddress") + "</address>");return VALUE("Firstname");}

However i can map , the source field can be mapped and the populate the source field data in to populated

into contactaddress column of the database and this . The contactaddress field is then written to the target application.

ADDXML(String xPath, String xml)

This function appends the XML structure to the XPath passed. This function is used when the source application doesn't expose their fields through their API then a . A user can do map the mapping for the field and parse the data.

Let us take an example of custom field SalesRep__c  on the Opportunity object in Salesforce.

We have to map Map this field to the SalesRep custom field on QuickBooks online.

To map this field, type custom field name(SalesRep) in the target area

(QuickBook online) and add below given . And then, add the following query in the source field.

Mapping: <TargetField> = { ADDXML("<CustomField><DefinitionId>2</DefinitionId><Name>SalesRep</Name><Type>StringType</Type><StringValue>"+VALUE("SalesRep__c")+"</StringValue></CustomField>");

return "";

}

Where:
<DefinitionId>2</DefinitionId> :Position of custom field in QuickBooks online.

<Name>SalesRep</Name> : The custom field name in QuickBooks online.

  <StringValue>"+VALUE("SalesRep__c")+"</StringValue> : The custom field in Salesforce.

AND (boolean booleanExp1, boolean booleanExp2)

Mapping: <TargetField> = AND(booleanExp1,booleanExp2) 

Example : <TargetField> = AND(VALUE("Stage")=="Closed Won",

VALUE("Type")=="Key Account") 

From the above example, The the function returns true for all the records which are having "stage" as where

the "Stage" is "Closed Won" and, the Type as is "Key Account".

ASNUMBER(String value)

This function checks if a supplied value is a number and . And then, it returns the actual number passed; or else, it returns zero.

MAPPING: <TargetField> = ASNUMBER("String")

<TargetField> = ASNUMBER("123")

If the value for the number of employees is null, or empty it , the function will return

a value zero. In this example, it the value of the number of employees is '123' so

the function will return 123 as a number.

CLEAN(String s1, String s2)

This function removes all non-printable characters from a supplied string value.

Note: The clean function removes the first 32 (non-printable) characters in the 7-bit ASCII code from the text.

Mapping: <TargetField> = CLEAN("String VALUE")

Example: <TargetField> = CLEAN (Aºlan)

In the above example, the function remove removes the non-printable character

and returns the output as "Alan".

CONCATENATE(String... strings )

This function allows you to join two or more text strings together.

Mapping: <TargetField> = CONCATENATE("String1", "string2", "string3")

Example: passing text values

<TargetField> = CONCATENATE("It's", "raining ", "heavily ", "outside.")

The value returned by the function from the above example is "It's raining heavily outside."

CODE(String s)

This function returns the numeric code of the first character of a supplied text value.

Mapping: <TargetField> = CODE("text value")

Example : <TargetField> = CODE("Alan Musk")

In the above example the function returns the numeric code of the first character

in the supplied text - namely, "Alan Musk". The numeric value of character of

"A" is returned as 65.

Mapping: <TargetField> = DATE("date string")

DATE (String dateString, String inputFormat)

This function reads a date string and returns the date string as per user-specified date format.

If the user-specified date format is not passed then, it passes date string as "yyyyMMdd-HHmmssZ".

Mapping: <TargetField> = DATE(VALUE("source field"), "format string")

Example : <TargetField> = DATE(VALUE("lasttransferdate"),"MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS")

The value of lasttransferdate is Mar-12-2010 12:33:21. As a result, then

the DATE() function will return value as 03-12-2010 12:33:21.

This function reads a date string and returns the date string as per user-specified date output format.

If the user-specified date input format is not passed then it returns date string as "yyyyMMdd-HHmmssZ".

Mapping: <TargetField> = DATE(VALUE("source field"), "source format", "target format string")

Example : <TargetField>= DATE(DATE(VALUE("createddate"),"yyyy-MM-ddhh:mm:ss"),

"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'")

The value of createddate is 03-12-2010 12:33:21, then the DATE()

function will return value as 2010-12-03'T'12:33:21.

DOLLAR(Arg 0)

This function is currently not supported.

EQUALS(String v1, String v2)

This function compares two given string values and returns true if both the values are an exact match; otherwise, it returns false(case-insensitive).

Mapping: <TargetField> = EQUALS(VALUE("sourcefield"),"text")

Example: <TargetField> = EQUALS("she is beautiful","He is beautiful")

From the above example the function returns false as the first passed string

and the second string does not match completely.

ERROR()

This function can be used to get the error message for errors during writing to target. This is used in status write back, once an attempt has been made to write the record to the target.

Mapping: <TargetField> = ERROR()

Example: There is an invalid reference to QuickBooks Customer

"Dialysis Center of NW Arkansas: Hidden Springs Dialysis Center" in the

SalesOrder. QuickBooks error message: Invalid argument.

The specified record does not exist in the list.

From the above example, there is an error while writing to

QuickBooks salesorder sales order and this error message is written back to the source application.

EXACT(String str1, String str2)

This function compares two given string values and returns true if both the values are an exact match; otherwise, it returns false(case-sensitive).

Mapping: <TargetField> = EXACT(VALUE("SourceField1"), VALUE("SourceField2"))

Example : <TargetField> = EXACT(VALUE("FirstName"),VALUE("FirstName"))

The above example will return true as the value of first attribute is "Chris" and the

value of second attribute is also "Chris".

FAST_TLOOKUP(String query)

This function looks up a given Id from a passed query and returns the corresponding value. This function is the same as the TLOOKUP function

. However, the function executes

based on writer batch size for

faster execution.

Note: You shouldn't use the special character on the function.The return value of FAST_TLOOKUP

Mapping: <TargetField> = FAST_TLOOKUP(stringQuery)

Example: QB QuickBooks Invoice to Salesforce opportunity

AccountID = FAST_TLOOKUP("Select Id from Account where AVSFQBAVSFQuickBooks__Quickbooks_Id__c='"+VALUE("{CustomerRef/FullName/CustomerRet/ListID}")+"'")

In the above example, we are updating opportunity the Opportunity object of salesforce Salesforce

by reading invoice records from the QuickBooks, . The query passed inside the function

will fetch the customer List ID (in this case the value of List id is "12345") from the QuickBooks and match it with the Account ID of Salesforce which in this case is "12345" which means same customer record exist in the salesforce so that of related invoice records from QB will be updated to related opportunity QuickBooks.

If a match is found between List id and Salesforce's Account ID then, this will indicate

that the customer's record exists in Salesforce. As a result, related invoice record information from QuickBooks will update information in the related Opportunity object.

FIND(String findText, String withinText)

This function returns the position of the first string parameter, within the supplied second string parameter.

Mapping: <TargetField> = Find(VALUE("SourceField1"), VALUE("SourceField2"))

<TargetField>= FIND("arch","search")

In this example, pass the first string as "arch" and the second string as "search".

The FIND() function will return the position of "arch" in "search".

The FIND() function will return 3 as the value.

Note: If the findText find text parameter finds value in withinText within-text parameter more than once then, then

the function returns the position of the very first existenceinstance.

FIND(String findText, String withinText, int startNum)

This function returns the position of the first string parameter within the supplied second string parameter from the passed start index.

Mapping: TargetField = FIND(VALUE("SourceField1"), VALUE("SourceField2"), "Start Position")

TargetField = FIND("arch","search",2)

In this example, pass the first string as "arch" and the second string as "search".

The FIND() function will search the string "arch" in "search" starting from

the 2nd position of the "search" string and return the position of "arch" in "search".

The function return 3 and first two characters of the string "Search" i.e. 's' and 'e' are ignored.

Note: If the findText parameter finds value within Text withinText parameter more than once,

then the function returns the position of the very first existenceinstance.

Mapping: <TargetField> = FIXED("sourcefield")

<TargetField> = FIXED(12.6789)

In the price field the value passed is 12.6789 so the FIXED() function

will return the price value as 12.68.

FIXED (Double, Integer)

This function rounds a supplied number to a specified number of decimal places.

Mapping: <TargetField> = FIXED("sourcefield",1)

<TargetField> = FIXED(14.789,1)

In the price field the value passed is 14.789 so the FIXED() function will return the price value as 14.8.

FIXED (Double, Integer, Boolean)

This function is currently not supported

FORMAT(String value, String format)

Mapping: <TargetField> = FORMAT("SourceField", "Format String")

<TargetField> = FORMAT("12","0.00##")

Mapping: <TargetField> = GETSOURCEXML2STRING()

<TargetField> = GETSOURCEXML2STRING()

<items> <item id="0001" type="donut"> <name>Cake</name> <ppu>0.55</ppu>

</item> ... </items>

The XML elements are returned as a string. In the above example, the input is taken as XML having element has items and returned it as string.

GETSOURCEXML2STRING(String elementName)

Mapping: <TargetField> = GETSOURCEXML2STRING("elementname")

Example : <TargetField> = GETSOURCEXML2STRING("batters")

<items> <item id="0001" type="donut"> <name>Cake</name> <ppu>0.55</ppu> <batters> <batter id="1001">Regular</batter> <batter id="1002">Chocolate</batter> </batters> <topping id="5001">None</topping> <topping id="5002">Glazed</topping> </item> ... </items>

The "batters" node element is found in the xml and returned as a string in the following format.

<batters> <batter id="1001">Regular</batter> <batter id="1002">Chocolate</batter> <batter id="1003">Blueberry</batter> </batters>

IF(Boolean condition, String trueValue, String falseValue)

This function tests the user-defined condition and returns one result if the condition is true, and another result if the condition is false.

Mapping : <TargetField> = IF(String,Integer,String)

<TargetField> = IF(ISEMPTY(VALUE("Rate")),"0.00",VALUE("Rate"))

In this case, the IF function checks for the value of Rate and finds it to be empty then . Then, it returns 0.00 or else it returns original rate value from the Rate field.

ISEMPTY(String s)

This function returns true if the variable is unintialized or explicity set to empty; otherwise, it returns false.

Mapping: <TargetField> = ISEMPTY("sourcefield")

<TargetField> = ISEMPTY(VALUE("FirstName"))

In the above example, the first name field has a value of "Alan" so the function ISEMPTY() returns true.

ISNULL(String s)

This function checks if the passed value is null then, it returns true; or else, it returns false.

Mapping: <TargetField> = ISEMPTY("sourcefield")

<TargetField> = ISNULL(VALUE("lastname"))

In the above example, the first name field has a value of "Alan" so the function ISNULL() returns false.

LEFT (String var)

This function returns the first character of the supplied string which is on left hand side.

Mapping: <TargetField> = LEFT(VALUE("SourceField"))

Example: passing a string

<TargetField> = LEFT("search")

In this example, pass a string as "search". The LEFT() function returns the value as "s" which is on the extreme left of the string "search".

LEFT(String var, int count)

This function returns the specified number of characters from the left of the given string.

Mapping: <TargetField> = LEFT(VALUE("SourceField1"), noofcharacters)

Example: passing a string

<TargetField> = LEFT("search",3)

In this example, pass the first parameter as "search" and the second parameter as 3. The LEFT() function will return three characters from the left of the parameter "search" and the function returns "sea".

Note: If the length of the passed string is less than the second parameter then the function will return a full string as a result.

LEN(String var)

This function returns the length of the a given string.

Mapping: <TargetField> = LEN(String)

Example : passing a string

<TargetField> = LEN("search")

In this example, pass the string as "search". The LEN() function will returns result as '6' which is the length of string "search".

LINK(String colName, String value)

Note: This function is deprecated and an alternative function could be MEMLOOKUP orTLOOKUP functions.

Mapping: <TargetField> = LINK(VALUE("SourceField1"), VALUE("SourceField2"))

LINK(String colName, String query, String fieldName, String refValue, String objectName)


Note: This function is deprecated and an alternative function could be MEMLOOKUP orTLOOKUP functions.

The Link function is used to update Salesforce (Target) field with a source value based on the source identifier that remains unique across Salesforce (Target) as well as Source (Ex: Quickbooks) application.

The function creates an internally cached table querying the target (Salesforce) database with two columns , - the first column being the primary key for the table; and, the second for the other column name.
 
It then looks for a string that is the same across both the Source and Target system before updating the Target LOOK-UP(Salesforce) field with the Source field value.

LINK(String colName, String query, String fieldName, String refValue, String objectName, String valueField)

Note: This function is deprecated and an alternative function could be MEMLOOKUP orTLOOKUP functions.

LOG()

Mapping: <TargetField> = LOG(VALUE("SourceField"))

Example : <TargetField> = {LOG("********ChainId"+LEFT(VALUE("Udf_Pa_Pricing"),20));return LEFT(VALUE("Udf_Pa_Pricing"),20);}

The log function gets the value of the target field "udf_pa_pricing" to while performing write operation and can be viewed in the logs section for debugging whenever there is an error.

LOOP

This function is different from the conventional '=' operator to map source and target.

<SourceField "loop" TargetField> is used in
scenarios where a grouping the Line Items are required based on the target identifier. It can also be used when the identifier is unique and the same across both source and target systems.

Example1:  Salesforce Oppotunity Opportunity LineItems to QuickBooks Invoice LineItems

Mapping <TargetField> : InvoiceAddRq/InvoiceAdd/InvoiceLine Add [dbsync:loop] "OpportunityLineItems/records"

In the above example, for every opportunity Line Item, the loop will create a corresponding Invoice Line Item.

Example2:  Source - Database ; Target - Quickbooks
Database Query : select invoice_no,customerid,item,itemdesc from InvoiceTable
Mapping : InvoiceAddRq/InvoiceAdd/InvoiceLineAdd [dbsync:loop]  "invoice_no/list"

In the above example, we are using the "invoice_no" column from the database as an identifier. Based on this identifier, we are grouping each row as a line item and then mapping it with Quickbooks Invoice Line Item.

For instance, if the database Invoice table has four rows with "invoice_no" - being the same for all the four rows - then, then the mapping will create one Invoice in Quickbooks with four Line Items - rather than, creating one Invoice for each row.

LOOKUP(String adapterName, String queryString)

Mapping: <TargetField> = LOOKUP("sourceconnector" , "querystring")

Example:<TargetField> = LOOKUP("Salesforce","select Id from Account where Name='Test'")

Theabove example with fetch the Id from account Account object of Salesforce from the source application and assigns assign it to the target field whenever the name field has a value of "Test".

LOWER (String var)

This function converts all character characters in a given string to lowercase.

Mapping: <TargetField> = LOWER(String)

Example: passing a string

In this example, pass a string as "SEARCH". The LOWER() function will return the string converted to lowercase.

<TargetField> = LOWER("SEARCH")

The function will return "SEARCH" as "search".

LPAD(String text, String pattern, int pad)

This function is used to pad the left side of a string with the a specific set of characters. The integer is the total length of the string returned after padding.

Mapping: <TargetField> = LPAD(VALUE("SourceField"), "string", Int)

Example1: <TargetField> = LPAD("tech on the net", "0", 15)

The function would will return result as "tech on the net".

Example2: <TargetField> = LPAD("tech on the net", "0", 18)

The function would will return the result as "000tech on the net".

LSPLIT(String text, String splitter)

This function returns the split value of the string starting from the left side of a string till the splitter value.

Mapping: <TargetField> = LSPLIT(VALUE("SourceField"), "string")

Example: <TargetField> = LSPLIT ("tech-on-the-net", "-")

The LSPLIT() would return the result as "tech".

MAP(String key, String...mapEntries)

This function returns the value against the key passed from the key-value pair(s) passed via the second parameter of the function.

Mapping: <TargetField> = MAP(VALUE("string1", "string2", string3, string4)

Example: <TargetField> = MAP("myKey", "a=b", "c=d", "myKey=myValue")

The MAP function will return "myValue". If the key is not present in any of the key-value pairs then, the function will return an empty string.

MEMTABLE(String cacheIdentifier, String query)

This function creates a data cache in the system. This data cache will be referred to using cacheIdentifier.
Once MEMTABLE method function is called, the cacheIdentifier passed can be used to search data this in the query (executed against the target connector) returns, using the MEMLOOKUP method.

MAPPING: MEMTABLE(StringCacheIdentifier, StringQuery)

Example: Database Table

MEMTABLE("AccountID","Select ID, Name from dbAccount")

In this example, a cache with the name "AccountId" will be created in the system, which . It will hold all the id's and name names from dbAccount table as key-value pairs.

Assuming we have a_01→Name1, b_01→Name2 as data in dbAccount table, this method function will create a map with these key-value pairs in the cache.

MEMLOOKUP(String cacheIdentifier, String key)

This function returns value against the key in the dataset referred by the cacheIdentifier.

Mapping: <TargetField> = MEMLOOKUP(stringCacheIdentifiercacheIdentifier, stringKeyKey)

Example:

<TargetField> = MEMLOOKUP("AccountID", "a_01" ) 

In this example, AccountID is the name of the cache created using MEMTABLE method function as explained in the previous example.

And this This function call will return "Name1" as the value as we have passed "a_01" as the key, since . Since in the previous example, a map was created as a_01→Name1, b_01→Name2, against the AccountId as cacheIdentifier.

In ideal scenarios, second parameter will not be hardcoded value like in the previous example above, but some other variable like VALUE("account_id").

For MEMLOOKUP to work, we need to make sure we have created a correct dataset data set using MEMTABLE function.

MEMLOOKUPREGEX(String cacheIdentifier, String key, String regex)

This function is similar to MEMLOOKUP function with an additional check of a regular expression against the key name.

If the passed key matches the pattern passed in the regex, it will return the the corresponding value; otherwise, otherwise it will return an empty string.

Mapping: <TargetField> = MEMLOOKUP(cacheIdentifier, key, regex)

Example:

<TargetField> = MEMLOOKUP("AccountID", VALUE("account_id"), "^a_" ) 

Having added The above adds an additional regex parameter which . It states that the function will match only keys starting with "a_". In this example, example the function will not return any value is from VALUE("account_id") that doesn't start with "a_".

MID(String text, Int startNum, Int numChars)

This function extracts a substring from the string and returns the substring.

Mapping: <TargetField> = NOTEQUALS("string1","string2")

Example : <TargetField> = NOTEQUALS(VALUE("CurrencyISO"),"USD")

This function compares "USD" against all the values of "CurrencyISO" field and it's start . If the function finds there is an a value of "USD" to which then, it returns true.

This function returns an integer value of the string passed to it.

If the value of "numberofemployees" field is null or empty then the function returns zero.

OR(boolean exp1, boolean exp2)

This function evaluates the conditions passed through the function and returns true if any one of the condition evaluates to true; otherwise, it returns false.

Mapping: <TargetField> = OR(Boolean, Boolean)

Example : <TargetField> = OR(VALUE("FirstName")==VALUE("LastName"), VALUE("Id")=="123")

In the above function, the 'firstname' has a value "Alan" and ; the last name has a value "Chris"; and, the Id field has a value of 456 which . The value of 456 is not equivalent to 123 and hence, the function returns false.

This function PARAM extract extracts the values from the session which is in the format PARAM.SOURCE_Object.Variable=PARAM.TARGET_Object.Variable and returns the variable value.

Mapping: <TargetField> = PARAM(''string'')

Mapping: <TargetField> = PARAM_PARENT(''string'')

Example: <TargetField> = PARAM_PARENT(VALUE("Description"))

If the value of "Description" starts with "PARAM" and the value is present in the session then, then the second text literal is concatenated with "/" and third text literal and returned.

Mapping: <TargetField> = PARENTVALUE("sourcefield")

Example : Salesforce object fields

Trigger: select Id, name, account.name from opportunity.

The above query will retrieve ID, name Name and account Account name from opportunity Opportunity object of Salesforce.

<TargetField> = PARENTVALUE("Account/Name")

This function to retrieves the value of the Account Name - which is a lookup against each opportunity Opportunity - and returns to the assigned target field.

Mapping: <TargetField> = PARENTVALUEATTR("stringpath","attr")

Example : <TargetField> = PARENTVALUE("CustomerRef","Name")

<CustomerRef>

<Name>Alan</Name>

</CustomerRef>

In this example the the CustomerRef object has a Name field in the form of the XML and . It will return the value as "Alan".

Mapping: <TargetField> = PROPER("SourceField1")

Example: <TargetField> = PROPER("search")

In this example, since Pass string has "search" as the parameter then , the function returns the result as "Search".

REPLACE (String oldText, Int startNum, Int numChars, String newText)

This function replaces a full string, or a part of string text, with another text string from the position sent through parameter i.e. startNum.

Mapping: <TargetField> = REPLACE(VALUE("SourceField"), 1, 5, "replace string")

Example: Pass a string

<TargetField> = REPLACE("seaaarchsearch",3,3,"a")

In this example, Pass string has - (1) "search" as the first parameter, ; (2) 3 as start number for the second parameter, ; (3) 3 as a number of characters to be replaced for the third parameter; and, (4) "a" as the replace replacement string. The REPLACE() function will replace three characters from the third character to the fifth character in the string. The resulting string returned by the function will be "search".

Mapping: <TargetField> = REPT(VALUE("sourcefield"), 2)

Example:<TargetField> = REPT("tech", 2) 

In the above example, The the function REPT() would return result string as "techtech".

RIGHT(String var)

This function returns a right most rightmost character of the string value passed.

Mapping: <TargetField> = RIGHT(String)

Example: String Parameter

In this example, the Pass string as is "search". The RIGHT() function will return the first character from the right of the string "search". So string returned by the function will be "h".

<TargetField> = RIGHT("search",1)

RIGHT(String var, Int count)

This function returns a specified number of characters from the end of a supplied text string.

Mapping: <TargetField> = RIGHT(VALUE("SourceField1"), NoOfCharacters)

Example: String parameter

In this example, Pass first string as is "search" and, the second parameter as is 5. The RIGHT() function will return five characters from the right of the string "search". So, the string returned by the function will be "earch".

<TargetField> = RIGHT("search",5)

Note: If a number of characters in the string is are less than the number of characters requested from the function, it will return the full string.

Mapping: <TargetField> = RPAD(VALUE("SourceField1"), "string", Int)

Example 1: <TargetField> = RPAD("tech on the net", "0", 15)

The function would will return result string as "tech on the net".

Example 2: <TargetField> = RPAD("tech on the net", "0", 18)

The function would will return result as "tech on the net000".

Mapping: TargetField = RSPLIT(VALUE("SourceField"), "string")

Example: <TargetField> = RSPLIT ("tech-on-the-net", "-")

This function would will return result string as return "net".

SEARCH(String findText, String withinText, int startNum)

This function returns the position of a supplied text string from within a supplied text string for which starting position can be specified.

Mapping: <TargetField> = SEARCH(VALUE("SourceField1"), VALUE("SourceField2"), "Start Position")

Example : String parameters

<TargetField> = SEARCH("arch","search",2)

In this example, Pass the first string as is "arch"; and, the second string as is "search". The SEARCH() function will search the string "arch" in "search" from the second position in the string and will return the place value of "arch" in "search". So it will return 3 as the place value. So the character 's' will be ignored.

Note: If the search string exists more than once in the second string, the function returns the position of the first existenceinstance.

Mapping: <TargetField> = SESSION_GET("KEY")

Example: Retrieving the "key" stored in the session.

CustomerAddRq/CustomerAdd/Name = SESSION_GET("Account_Name")

In the above example, we are retrieving the KEY ie. , "Account_Name", of the Salesforce opportunity Opportunity object stored in the session and . The value that is being parsed internally in that of what was stored in the session , - "Avankia".

SESSION_PUT(String name, String value)

This function stores the key/value pair in the session of that particular an active process or workflow which is active. This function can will only work with active workflows within DBSync.

SETATTR(String colName, String attName, String attValue, String colVal)

This function sets the column with an attribute of name and value as specified. The column value would be set as specified in the colVal. This function can only be applied when writing to salesforce Salesforce for pricebook the Pricebook object.

Mapping: <TargetField> = SETATTR(TargetField, TargetobjectName, Targetobjecttype, sourcefield1)

Example :SETATTR("PricebookEntryId","pricebook","Standard Price Book",VALUE("ItemRef/FullName"))

This function is used to query pricebook Pricebook object i.e.( select pricebookentryid where name=standardpricebook and itemref/fullname = pricebookentryid) and if these the condition is satisfied it returns the value of pricebookentry id and assigns it to the mapped target field.

Mapping: <TargetField> = SUBSTITUTE("sourcefield", "string1", "string2")

Example: <TargetField> = SUBSTITUTE(VALUE("FirstName"), "John" "Alan")

In the above example all of "firstname" field records which - that are having values a value as "John" - will be replaced with "Alan".

Mapping: <TargetField> = SUBSTITUTE("sourcefield", "string1", "string2", occurences)

Example : TargetField = SUBSTITUTE(VALUE("FirstName"), "John" "Alan",2)

In the above example, the firstname field which are having will have values as "John" with "Alan" respectively, for the first two occurrences only.

TLOOKUP(String queryString)

Mapping: <TargetField> = TLOOKUP(stringQuery)
