Omniscripts use Function elements to perform calculations and display results to users. The Formula element is used for automatic calculations based on input values, such as subtotals derived from quantity and price fields.

Core information
  • Function elements include Formula, Aggregate, and Messaging, and they perform calculations without requiring code.
More details and nuances
  • Formula elements in repeatable blocks must reference data using specific notation (BlockName|n:ElementName for same block, BlockName|1:ElementName for different blocks) or they may return null.
