+    <p>
+    The function does not work in Test elements that don't have an associated sampler.
+    For example the Test Plan. 
+    Configuration elements also don't have an associated sampler.
+    However some Configuration elements are referenced directly by samplers, such as the HTTP Header Manager
+    and Http Cookie Manager, and in this case the functions are resolved in the context of the Http Sampler.
+    Pre-Processors, Post-Processors and Assertions always have an associated Sampler.
