What is a Functual?

Category: Software technology and coding.

A Functual is a function that is configured with an interactive software module. For example, Aestiva's Webigami platform includes FIND, a functual for searching data across different documents. Using a module built into the Webigami platform, the user can perform a wide variety of searches that, if coded manually, might take weeks.

Functuals are easier to use than functions and function libraries. To call the functual FIND you write:

      X = FIND(1000,p)

The ID is the first parameter. The second parameter is optional and, when used, is for passing data to the functual.

The word "functual" was introduced by Aestiva in 2020 to describe the FIND and SAVE functions (built into its paperwork automation platform since 2017). Since 2017 The functuals have been extended to include:

    • Automated Messaging

    • Dynamic Emails and Texts

    • Document Printing

    • Fixed Slideshows

    • Interactive Popup Alerts.

    • System and Custom Chart Creation

    • KPI Generation

    • Dashboard Charts


For further information consult the documentation built into your Webigami account.
