+=== Example: Extracting components from a Contact field into separate fields ===
+Suppose you have a Contact field called myContact. If you would like the name, primary phone, and primary email as separate fields, create the fields, maybe ContactFullname, ContactPrimaryPhone, and ContactPrimaryEmail. The create two triggers, as follows:
+:; CreateBefore
+:: Event: Creating a new entry
+:: Phase: Before saving the entry
+:: Script: As follows
+<source lang="JavaScript">
+var e = entry();
+var contact = e.field("myContact");
+if (contact.hasNext)
+    contact = contact.next;
+e.set("ContactFullname", contact.fullName);
+e.set("ContactPrimaryPhone", contact.phone);
+e.set("ContactPrimaryEmail"), contact.email);
+</source>
+<br/>
+:; UpdateBefore
+:: Event: Updating an existing entry
+:: The rest the same as above.
+Now, every time you create a new entry or update an existing one, the contact information will be extracted to separate fields.
