Dimensions (Unicom Intelligence) Global-functions supported by SurveyToGo

Overview

The Dimensions (Unicom Intelligence) scripting environment contains many Global-functions that the scripter can use during scripting in addition to the methods of objects. While most commonly used Global-functions are supported by the SurveyToGo: Dimensions integration, some are not supported. This article lists the full list of Global-functions of Dimensions and details which are supported and which are not. Some of the Global-functions not currently supported will be supported in the future.
