Manage Functions

TapData supports a wide range of functions to facilitate the definition of processing steps, allowing for their use in JavaScript (JS) nodes. Additionally, you can freely define custom functions or import third-party JAR packages to introduce new functions as needed.

Procedure

1. Log in to TapData platform.

2. In the left navigation bar, select Advanced > Function List.

3. On this page, you can see the functions currently available. For example, click View next to a system function to learn more about it.

   

4. If the existing functions do not meet your needs, you can click Create in the upper right corner to define a new function. Click Save once setup is complete.

   tip

   Alternatively, you can click Import and then import functions from the package (which must comply with TapData standards). Subsequently, functions from that JAR package can be used in JS nodes using the general format: function name.method name (specific parameters).

   

   • Code Details: You can write your own function logic here.
