Working with composite functions

You can add a function to an existing composite, change the order of a composite, and delete a function.

By default, when you register for a Cast Iron® Express® account, this function is disabled. To use this additional function, click Add-ons and select the Mapping Functions package. For more information, see Adding function to your Express account.

Complete the following steps to add a function to an existing composite function.

Procedure

  1. On the Integrations page, click the integration that you want to edit. The integration is displayed in the Integration editor with the fields that you previously selected shown in the Transformations view.
  2. In the Transformations view, click the anchor point of a field from the source object and then click the anchor point of a field on the target object. The Add FunctionAdd function icon icon is displayed.
  3. Click the Add Function icon to view a list of available functions. The Configure Function pop-up window is displayed showing a list of available functions.
  4. In the Configure Function window, click the function that you want to apply to the mapping. If the function permits editing or requires additional information to be configured, the Edit icon Edit icon is displayed adjacent to it.
  5. Click the Edit icon. A pop-up window is displayed containing Edit Composites, Edit Source Fields and Edit Parameters window sections.
    Note:
    • The Edit Composites window section displays the available composite functions.
    • The Edit Soure Fields window section defines the source (input) to the first composite function.
    • The Edit Parameters window section displays the configured parameters for the composite that you selected in the Edit Composites section.
  6. In the Edit Composites window section click Concatenate. A drop-down menu is displayed showing a list of available concatenate function parameters.
  7. Select a parameter from the drop-down menu. The window is updated with your selection.
  8. Click Apply. The composite function is updated.
  9. On the Integrations page, click Save to save the integration.
The composite function is updated with the new function.
Note: Because a subsequent function receives a single input, functions that require two or more inputs cannot be chosen as a subsequent composite function Additionally, attempting to create a composite function within a composite is not allowed and is not displayed as an option.

You can also edit composites to move, delete, or change the order of functions.

Complete the following steps to delete or move a composite function.
