typeinfo

Throughout the documentation we refer to data types that can be used in the expression parser and its functions.

Data types define what kind of data a function needs as input and what you should expect as output.


The most common data types

typetip

Any field type or data type is susceptible of being transformed to text, so any field can be referenced as a text-string value using the following notation: %{...anyfield}, and %{...anyfield.i} for Cascading Select or Multi-Cascading Select fields, where i is the index that represents the level to be accessed. (i = 0 is used for base level).

Casting (converting) data types

typeinfo

Casting (or transforming) data types is very important throughout all functions provided by JWT.

To be able to set, transform or calculate values it might be necessary to turn a text value to a number, a number or a timestamp to a text, and even individual text or number values to a list.

The following functions will help you to achieve that.
