Function Alias Not Appearing in Report Definition
Hi,
We need to do more advanced formatting of column values in report definition.
When I read the Help of Function Alias, it sounds like it is supported in RD.
But for example, the OOTB Function Alias rule (below) is not appearing in RD's Calculation Builder.
Is this a defect or an expected behavior? Ideally, we'd like to create a new FA (which then uses a Java function) and use in RD.
Thanks,
Will
Function Alias will only appear in Report Definition if they are defined on the class Embed-UserFunction. They are SQL snippets which can leverage the SQL functions in the database for filtering or formatting.
