Formula Field

Posted by Rollbase User on 23-Mar-2012 08:39

I"m trying to get a better understanding of how to create formula fields. For example if I had a Contact Object with a First Name field and a Last Name field....and I wanted to create a new formula field called Full Name (joining first name & last name).....how would I accomplish this? what would the formula look like? Thank you in advance....I'm coming from a different application development world and I'm just trying to better understand how Rollbase rolls thanks

Hi



Should come out as something like "{!firstName} {!lasrName}"

It basically follows Js syntax.

Piscoso,



Thank you for your help. I getting the FirstName --"{!firstName} --- to display....but the LastName ----{!lastName}"---- is not displaying.



I'm using the formula return type String....what should I be selecting in the Template Helper



Select Token Group = (I assume the Contact Object)

Select Merge Token = ?

Copy Merge Token = ?

Group Token = ?

Select ID = ?

Server-Side API = ?



Thanks Again

Thanks for help, Martin.



Please note that objects have "naming template" which can be used in this case: no need to use formula fields.
