Overview

Totango gives customers the flexibility to connect their raw data to Totango. 
With the new Data hub Field Functions and Function Editor users can apply functions on their data creating new fields of data to load to Totango. 

The column-based Field Functions feature is integrated into  the customer data hub process. After the user defines the data source object, he will have the option to add formulas (it can be either as a step before the mapping/preview or within the mapping).
The user experience is as simple as defining a formula in a spreadsheet.

Totango supports many formulas of all types (Math, Text, Date, Logical and Formatting). The full list of supported formulas is here .

The Field Functions flow is as follows:
