Function Configuration in Actions

Function Configuration in Actions

You can configure the data operation in an action as a function expression. You can also select a function expression from a list of expressions in the rule specification. Use the function options in the action to configure or select the expression.
You can use the function options as an alternative to the inline action options that the rule statement displays in the workspace. You can also use the function options to configure an action that reads multiple inputs or that reads an asset from the Model repository.
To configure an expression, select the function option from the action menu. When you select the field, you open the
Define Action
dialog box.
The following image shows the
Define Action
dialog box:
The Define Action dialog box options define the output for the action. Select an option type on the left-hand side of the dialog box. Use the editable fields to define the output.
The dialog box contains the following options:
  1. Convert Case
    Use the Convert Case options to change the character case of the input data values.
  2. Merge
    Use the Merge options to return data values from multiple inputs as a single output.
  3. Standardization
    Use the Standardization options to update a copy of the input data value and to return the copy. You can configure a standardization function to remove characters, to return a value from a reference table, or to return a value that you specify.
  4. Function
    Use the Function options to apply a function expression to the input that you select and to return the output of the expression.
  5. Input
    Use the Input options to return a data value. You can specify a constant value, or you can select an input. If you select an input, the action returns the value in the input column on the same row as the condition input.
  6. Rules
    Use the Rules options to return the output of a mapplet that you select.
  7. Configurable options for the operation
    Use the options to configure the action.
