Functions

There are two types of functions in Jiffy:

1. Predefined Functions: These are Jiffy provided python functions for the commonly used functions. For example: Concat, Capitalize, Add days etc.
2. User Defined Functions: Jiffy allows the users to create custom Python functions and use them in the UI nodes steps.

These functions can be used in scripting of all UI nodes. These functions have to be written in Python language and can be reused in UI nodes of tasks across Processes.
