I'd like to do try a Javascript calculation, but don't even know where to start. I've looked through several posts, but need a very basic example. Where does the Javascript code go? How do you call it from the calculation field? How do you reference the Podio variables.

Thanks :)

  Hi Shannon,

  Put the Javascript directly into the Calculation field in the app template :) Check out this article for the basics:

  I have read this article several times and looked at the linked forum discussion, but I'm still at a loss.

  If I have a simple javascript statement for testing purposes: <script type="text/javascript">alert("test");</script>
  The editor doesn't let me save it there.
  Do I create a function and call it? If so, where do I put the function?

  I think I got it. This simple example seemed to work.

  function testing(mytitle) {
  var thetitle = mytitle
  return thetitle;
  }
  testing(Title);
