GetFeatureInfo function

Returns information about a feature installed by a product package. This function only returns values in systems where a standardized product package has been installed for use in the Axiom platform.

This function is primarily intended for use by product designers, so that feature information can be referenced in feature components, and so that certain functionality can be dynamically enabled or disabled depending on the presence of certain features.

NOTE: You can use a data lookup to return the same information as a GetFeatureInfo function. Whenever possible, it is recommended to use data lookups over Axiom functions for faster performance.
