Derive
Lineitem.amount

Derive
product_billofmaterials.value
 as:
return row.kit_number_required * row.product.price
Derive

if (row.due_date === null) {
  return new Date(moment(row.placed_date).add('months', 1)
else
  return row.due_date; // no change
If a formula rule returns nothing, then the value of the column is unchanged:
if (row.value > 1000) // Do not change
    return;
↯
Copy attribute from parent on creation.
Derive
Lineitem.Price

Validate
Customer.CheckCredit
 as: 
row.balance < row.credit_limit
Validate
Purchaseorder.NotEmpty
 on commit as:
return row.item_count > 0
Vc
Validation runs after all rows are processed.
E
Invoke JavaScript action (often an extensible service); can execute during or after row processing, or on a commit (after all rows are processed).
Event rules are JavaScript that
Layer7 Live API Creator
 executes whenever a row is inserted, updated, or deleted (when you have enabled the rule for that type of event).
For more information:
See the example for
allocateFromTo
 system method. For more information about this method, see The allocateFromTo System Method.
Ee
Invoke JavaScript before rule execution.
Ec
Invoke JavaScript after all rows are processed.
Ep
For inserts, fires when
Layer7 Live API Creator
 maps resource rows to table rows. This occurs in advance of the other event rules and is typically used to compute primary keys.

Derive
Customer.maxOrder
 as: 
max(ordersList where is_ready = true)
⌈
Maximum value of a child attribute, with optional child qualification condition.
Derive
