InServiceNow Reporting,Function Fieldsare used toperform calculations, manipulate text, and transform datain a report. These fields allow users to applyarithmetic operations, coalescing, concatenation, and length calculationson existing data.
Arithmetic Operations– Performaddition, subtraction, multiplication, and divisionon numeric fields.
Coalesce– Combine multiple fields into one (useful for handling NULL values).
Concatenation– Join multiple string fields together (e.g., combining first and last names).
Length Calculation– Measure the length of a text field (e.g., checking character count in a description field).
Function fields aredesigned specifically for calculations and data transformationsin reports.
They allowadvanced data processing without requiring scripting.
