    Formula Support:

    Formula Support is an entitlement for a specific type of Salsify PXM Support Case. Formula Support is provided for prewritten Formulas, using Salsify’s Formula language, that are not working as expected. A “prewritten” Formula is one that the Customer has attempted to develop within the Salsify Formula Builder for their specific use case. Salsify Support does not include providing, or writing net new Formulas.

    The Formula complexity score that Support can assist you with is based on your Support tier. Once you submit a Case through the Salsify PXM Customer Portal, a member of our Support team will evaluate the complexity value with our Formula Complexity script. This will produce a Complexity Score, which Support will evaluate to determine the next steps to address your Formula issue.

    Formulas not covered by Support, or any new Formula needs will be forwarded to our internal team to assist you with the best potential solution (additional fees may apply).

      Retail
    Complexity Score Up to 50*
    Example Use Case Assign names to codes based on around a dozen non-localized data points
    Example Formula LET kid = "Y1,Y2,Y3,Y4,Y8,Y9,YA" IN 
     IF(AND(VALUE('Gender Code'), VALUE('Size Code')), 
      IF(CONTAINS(kid, VALUE('Gender Code')), 
       IF(ISNUMBER(VALUE('Size Code')), 
       IF(EQUAL(VALUE('Gender Code'), 'Y9'), "Little Kid", "Big Kid"), 
       COALESCE( 
       IF(EQUAL(VALUE('Size Code'), 'M'), "Big Kid"), 
       IF(EQUAL(VALUE('Size Code'), 'Medium'), "Big Kid"), 
       IF(EQUAL(VALUE('Size Code'), 'L'), "Big Kid"), 
       IF(EQUAL(VALUE('Size Code'), 'Large'), "Big Kid"), 
       IF(EQUAL(VALUE('Size Code'), 'XL'), "Big Kid"), 
       IF(EQUAL(VALUE('Size Code'), 'X-Large'), "Big Kid"), 
       IF(EQUAL(VALUE('Size Code'), 'XXL'), "Big Kid"), 
       IF(EQUAL(VALUE('Size Code'), 'XX-Large'), "Big Kid"), 
       "Little Kid" 
       ) 
       ) 
      ) 
     )

    *After evaluating over 35,000 formulas using the Formula Complexity script across all Customers’ in-app computed properties, we found that the average complexity score is 28.8, the 90th percentile is 39 and the 95th percentile is 108.  

    Custom Readiness Report:

    Retailers may use Custom Readiness Reports for their internal use. The Custom Readiness Reports are built based on specific templates and information provided by the Customer.

    For Retail Support, Custom Readiness Reports will be completed within 15 Business Days.

    Retail Support includes up to 30 new Custom Readiness Reports per contract year. Self-Service Custom Readiness Reports, or updates to existing Reports, will not count against this quantity. Additional amounts in packages of 10 per year are available to be purchased as an add-on.

    Qualified Support Users:

    Qualified Support Users are authorized Users who are entitled to submit a Case. This entitlement is based on your Support tier. Retail Support includes up to 5 Qualified Support Users for the first Salsify Licensing Unit (SLU), and up to 2 for each additional SLU.
