Thank you for your feedback
Functions allow for additional fields to be selected that may not be part of the table selection on a standard data grid.
Answer:
Function fields are programmatically configured fields that you can add as fields in a view. Some reasons they were created include:
- Making it easier for you to put separate elements of array fields in the grid (e.g. gift distributions).
- Controlling how the data looks in the grid.
- Doing calculations such as fund balances or available to spend.
- When creating an optimized view which only allows one table, sometimes function fields are available to add fields from another table.
