Can XPath functions (e.g. Sum) be used in Envision for InfoPath data binding?
XPath functions (e.g. Sum, Count) cannot currently be used directly within a process attribute expression.
Although XPath functions (e.g. Sum, Count) cannot currently be used directly within process attribute expressions, you can use XPath expressions to retrieve a subset of an InfoPath form's XML data and store it in a custom process attribute. You would then be able to use a custom AgileWork to perform additional transformations or operations on the contents of the process attribute (e.g. to run Xpath queries, string parsing and/or manipulation, etc.).
Therefore, by combining Envision's built-in support for XPath expressions with some additional AgileWorks, a process modeler would be able to accomplish the same result as would be possible with XPath functions.
