Syntax: suffix(value, suffix)
Example:
Target Attribute : DisplayName
Value : suffix(S.DisplayName, "(MGR)")

Purpose: The Right function will return characters from the end of the string.
Syntax: right(Source, Count)
Source - Value to operate on
Count - Number of characters from the end of the string to return. If Count is longer than the string, the entire string is returned.
Example: You want to return the last four characters from the source display name.
Target Attribute : DisplayName
Value : right(S.DisplayName, 4)
Condition : Null
Purpose: The Left function will return characters from the beginning of the string.
Syntax: left(Source, Count)
Source - Value to operate on
Count - Number of characters from the beginning of the string to return. If Count is longer than the string, the entire string is returned.
Example: You want to return the first four characters from the source display name.
Target Attribute : DisplayName
Value : left(S.DisplayName, 4)
Condition : Null
Purpose: The Substring function will return a subset of characters from a string.
Syntax: substring(Source, StartIndex, Length)
Source - (Required) Value to operate on
StartIndex - (Required) Zero based Start Index position (First character = 0)
Length - (Optional) Number of characters from Start Index to return. If StartIndex + Length extends beyond the string, Length is ignored, and the rest of the string is returned instead.
Example: You want to return the 4th through 9th characters from the source display name.
Target Attribute : DisplayName
Value : substring(S.DisplayName, 3, 5)
Condition : Null
