The "view function docs" and "Learn more" options for transformation help.

  1. Functions reference guide: Choose view function docs at the top of the transformation panel to open this embedded reference guide. This guide is available on closed networks. Another way to open this reference is to browse to <your-instance-url>/function-docs, such as http://tamr.mydomain.com:9100/function-docs.
    You can also access the description of a specific function in the Functions reference guide from within a formula or script. This feature can be helpful for troubleshooting errors. Choose a Script, Formula, or MultiFormula transformation and then on any function name (in blue font), either Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Mac) to open reference information for that function, such as upper.
