FieldInfo
Filter
Find Replace
Fuzzy Match	Record order/column order. Records are matched in a different order with AMP.

Partially Converted Tools

Tools where not all functionality or configuration has been converted from the original engine to AMP. The functionality of all partially-converted tools is retained on AMP, with fall-back to the original engine when needed.

Tool	Difference between the original engine and AMP
Blob Convert	With AMP, the conversion to a Blob from Text Data and vice versa is not supported. Falls back to the original engine in such scernario.
Distance	Falls back to the original engine for drive time support and distance to destination.
Download	Only utf8 encoding is supported.
Find Nearest	AMP does not support drive time/distance, so it falls back to original engine for those operations.
Formula	Custom saved expressions are not available on AMP.
MultiFieldFormula	Custom saved expressions are not available on AMP.
MultiRowFormula	Custom saved expressions are not available on AMP.
Summarize	Different order for actions which use grouping. Actions not supported in AMP, including Report\Combine Horizontal, Report\Combine Vertical, Spatial\Combine, Spatial\Create Intersection, and Behavior Analysis\Combine profiles. Falls back to the original engine when used.
Trade Area	Falls back to the original engine for drive time support.
