Functions

The Bridge Specialty Suite provides an advanced set of tools for retrieving and manipulating data within the system.  Functions provide ways to retrieve and work with dates, analyze data within a table, set conditional results within a formula, and much more.

A function is made up of the function name, which may begin with the $ symbol, followed by round brackets ( ).  The $ symbol is optional for some functions, and may be included to help identify functions in complex formulas.  The parameters of the function are added within the brackets separated by commas.

$Function(p0, p1, ...)

Some functions require a specific number of parameters, others allow as many as required, and some do not require any parameters at all.

Note: Spaces are optional, but can be included for clarity.  They will be ignored by the system.

All functions are listed in the Full Function Reference List section, which includes descriptions of the functions, parameters, and results of each.

This section provides a more detailed introduction to some of these functions.
