User-defined functions

Allow arguments/parameters to be passed to variable definitions, effectively creating user-defined functions. For example, suppose that I want to define the function TagSum, which adds the values at all events in a time range. Then: TagSum(tag, s...

Allow Asset Analytics to Evaluate functions for questionable flagged values
