A response captured by the current integration step.
File
FileName, FileType
A file attachment value.
Prompt
Ask, Parameter
Parameter definitions and any values supplied by the user.
A context function that needs a concrete snapshot fails clearly when that snapshot is unavailable. For example, ResponseStatus() cannot run on a normal calculated field that has no captured HTTP response. Functions whose entries describe an optional value, such as ParentKey(), can return null instead.
The four device functions use one captured snapshot. This keeps latitude, longitude, location, and timestamp consistent within the same evaluation.Use them in workflows that capture device data, such as submission-time location recording:
Session functions help identify the current database, table, record, user, role, browser class, and URL. Use them for labels, routing, permissions-aware presentation, and integration payloads—not as a replacement for server-side access control.
Parameter declares or reads a prompt value. Ask checks whether required inputs are still missing and evaluates its condition after they are supplied. See Ask and parameter functions.
