3. Math	8. Data Sources	13. Location
4. Text	9. Lists/Sets Of Values	14. Process Steps
5. Date/Time	10. Repeats/Tables	15. Advanced Maths

1. CONTEXTUAL

USEREMAIL()	User's Email Address
USERFIRSTNAME()	User's First Name
USERLASTNAME()	User's Last Name
USEREXTERNALID()	User's External Id
USERINGROUP()	Returns True/False if the signed-in user's group name or external ID matches the given name/external ID. USERINGROUP('group name or external Id')
ORGNAME()	Organisation Name
GLOBALVAL('keyname') Global Value	Gets the Global Value for the specified key name (if any)
ORGMETA('key') Organisation Meta Value	Gets the Provider Meta Data Value for the specified key (if any). For example if your Organisation setup contains a Meta Data key of billing_id then you may access this value across the platform with ORGMETA('billing_id').
USERMETA('key') User Meta Value	Gets the User Meta Data Value for the specified key (if any). For example if your User setup contains a Meta Data key of billing_id then you may access this value across the platform with USERMETA('billing_id').
DEVICENAME()	The device name.
DEVICEOS()	The device operating system.
DEVICEOSVERSION()	The device operating system version.
APPVERSION()	The current version of the app installed on the user's device.
SCREENVERSION()	The version number of the current screen on the device.
SCREENDATE() Screen Last Updated (UTC)	The date & time on which the current screen on the device was last updated for GMT (UTC) time zone.
VAL('dataname') Direct Value	The VAL formula is intended for use when a dynamic dependency would lead to circular reference issues and is not dynamic when used alone, returning the value of the field referenced, 'dataname'. Example: IF(ISBLANK({{oneField}}), VAL('otherField'), {{oneField}}). This formula will evaluate once when the form loads and thereafter will only ever re-evaluate when the value of 'oneField' changes. This formula is not dynamically dependent on 'otherField' in any way since it does not contain a dynamic reference {{otherField}}. When the value of 'otherField' changes, this formula will not re-evaluate.
COUNTER() Screen Parameter	Simple counter that increments by 1 every time a new Form entry is created in the app. Will left pad the counter with zero’s to the specified pad width length. Concatenate counter() with user data to generate unique numbers. NOTE: Counter numbers are device-specific.
TASK('key') Linked Task Data - APP ONLY	Gets data value for the given key when this Screen is linked to a Task. Returns blank value if no Task is linked. The following Task keys are available: ADDITIONALINFO, COMPLETEATLAT, COMPLETEATLON, EXTERNALID, ID, ISOVERDUE, NAME, PERFORMWITHIN, COMPLETEBY, COMPLETEBYUTC, STARTTIME, STARTTIMEUTC e.g. TASK('NAME') returns the linked Task's name value.

2. SYSTEM VALUES

UTCTODAY() Current UTC (GMT) Date	The current Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) date reported by the device.
UTCNOW() Current UTC (GMT) Date & Time	The current Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) date and time reported by the device.
TASK-FIRSTAVAILABLE()	Returns the 'First Available' automatic user assignment identifier. Useful for creating new Tasks that are randomly assigned to the first available user. Also handy to use as a Process Step field's 'Send Form To' value. The optional parameter allows you to restrict the Task assignment to only users within the given User Group name or external ID. Examples of use: TASK-FIRSTAVAILABLE() will assign randomly to first of all available users TASK-FIRSTAVAILABLE('mygroup') will assign randomly to first available user in User Group named 'mygroup' TASK-FIRSTAVAILABLE({{myfield}}) will assign randomly to first available user in User Group name/ID matching the answer of field with name 'myfield'

Also handy to use as a Process Step field's 'Send Form To' value. The optional parameter allows you to restrict the Task visibility to only users within the given User Group name or external ID. Examples of use: TASK-FIRSTTOCLAIM() Task will be visible to all users TASK-FIRSTTOCLAIM('mygroup') will be visible to users in User Group named 'mygroup' TASK-FIRSTTOCLAIM({{myfield}}) will be visible to users in User Group name/ID matching the answer value of field with name 'myfield'

COUNTY(locationval) County / District	Returns the county / district area for the given location value. Mainly USA specific. Matches 'sub_admin_area' on OASIS Specification
STATE(locationval) State / Province	Returns the state / province for the given location value. Matches 'admin_area' on OASIS Specification.
POSTCODE(locationval) Postal / Zip Code	Returns the postal / zip code of the given location value. Matches 'postal_code' on OASIS Specification.
COUNTRY(locationval) Country Code	Returns the ISO country code of the given location value. Matches 'country' on OASIS Specification.
MIBETWEEN(startPoint, endPoint) Miles Between	Finds the miles between two geo-points, using great-circle math. Geo-points are strings in 'lat lon' format, Location field answers are also geo-points. e.g. MIBETWEEN('-8.45234 27.7623423', {{myGpsField}})
KMBETWEEN(startPoint, endPoint) Kilometres Between	Finds the kilometres between two geo-points, using great-circle math. Geo-points are strings in 'lat lon' format, Location field answers are also geo-points. e.g. KMBETWEEN('-8.45234 27.7623423', {{myGpsField}})
INPOLYGON(point, polygonPoints) Is In Polygon (geofence)	Returns a true/false answer on whether the given geo-point is within the given polygon. Polygon values must be pipe-seperated string of geo-points. e.g. INPOLYGON({{myGpsVal}}, '-8.6782523 27.2918257\|-8.6672229 28.7094422\|-7.6447228 29.3849982')

14. PROCESS STEPS

STEP-CURRENT() Current Step Name	Returns the name of the current Step in the process. If no Step has occurred yet, then this function returns a blank value.
STEP-ISCURRENT('dataname') Is Current Step	Returns true if the named Process Step field is the current Step in the process. If no Step has occurred yet, this function returns true for ANY Process Step name.
STEP-COMPLETED() Last Completed Step [BETA]	Returns the name of the Step most recently completed in the process. If no Step has been completed as yet (e.g. in a brand new Form entry in progress on the app), then this function returns a blank value. This function is ideal for use in Connectors because it will always return a value (since a Step is completed as soon as the entry is uploaded).
STEP-RESULT('dataname')	Returns the result of the named Process Step field, if any is set
STEP-EMAIL('dataname') Step User Email	Returns the email of the user that decided the result (if any) of the named Process Step field
STEP-FIRST('dataname') Step User First Name	Returns the first name of the user that decided the result (if any) of the named Process Step field
STEP-LAST('dataname') Step User Last Name	Returns the last name of the user that decided the result (if any) of the named Process Step field

15. ADVANCED MATHS

PI() Pi	Returns the number 3.14159265358979, the mathematical constant Pi, accurate to 15 digits.
DEGREES(angle) Degrees	Converts radians to degrees
RADIANS(angle) Radians	Converts degrees to radians
SQRT(val) Square Root	Returns a number which, when multiplied by it self, will produce the given value.
LOG(val, base) Logarithm (log)	Returns the exponent to which the given base must be raised to produce the given value.
SIN(val) Sine	Returns sine of given radian angle value. If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.

TAN(val) Tangent	Returns tangent of given radian angle value. If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.
ASIN(val)	Returns the arcsine, or inverse sine, of a number. The returned angle is given in radians in the range -pi/2 to pi/2.
ACOS(val) Arccosine	Returns the arccosine, or inverse cosine, of a number. The returned angle is given in radians in the range 0 (zero) to pi.
*ATAN(val)* Arctangent	Returns the arctangent, or inverse tangent, of a number. The returned angle is given in radians in the range -pi/2 to pi/2.
SINH(val) Hyperbolic Sine	Returns hyperbolic sine of given radian angle value. If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.
COSH(val) Hyperbolic Cosine	Returns hyperbolic cosine of given radian angle value. If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.
TANH(val) Hyperbolic Tangent	Returns hyperbolic tangent of given radian angle value. If your value is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.
