Operators and functions

Operators and functions could be found in ATOME: Matter during the process of creating a business rule. To find the list of most used examples and easily implement them to the business rule open a business rule and hover the cursor over the sign next to expression.

Clicking on it will open a small modal window with the list of functions and operators. By clicking on the “plus” sign it is possible to instantly add the chosen element to the expression.
