# Display function results in a database view

Add a function field to the output of a database view to see function results.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Definition** > **Database Views**.

2.  Select a database view.

3.  Select the **Try it** related link.

4.  Add the function field to the database view output.

    See [Configure items on forms or in lists using a list collector](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-user-interface/t_UseSlushbuckets.md).

5.  Review the function definition if the expected value is not returned or a returned value indicates the function definition is invalid.

    -   If the message **Invalid function** is returned, the function definition is invalid for string field types.
    -   If an empty value is returned, the function definition is invalid for other field types.
    -   If an unexpected value is returned, review the field definition in the function definition.

## Result

The function field operation is executed and the results appear in the database view output.
