SFM Literals are special keywords supported in SFM. These are also known as Field Attributes or Functions or Constants. These are supported in various contexts such as expressions, maps, source / target object updates, lookup filters, data validation rules, and custom actions.

Some of these are presented as picklist values, enabling the admin to select the required value in the SFM Designer. Examples of these are Date / Datetime literals 'Now', 'Today', 'Tomorrow', and 'Yesterday' and the Location lookup field function 'User Trunk' in Advanced Lookup Filter. Some of these need to be manually entered. Examples of these are the User lookup field literal 'SVMX.CURRENTUSERID' and literals 'SVMX.CURRENTRECORD' and 'SVMX.CURRENTRECORDHEADER' that are used with Field API Names appended to them. This section describes each of these literals and the contexts in which each literal is supported, with examples.
