How to create and save data functions for offline use.

Resolution

1).  Click on Edit > Data Function Properties, and click on "Register New". 
2).  Create the data function with the Script, Input and Output Parameters. 
3).  Click on the "Export" button in the upper-right hand corner of the screen. This allows you to save the function locally as an *.sfd file. 

Exported data functions are now available by clicking on Insert > Data Function > From File so that they can be applied to different tables and different analysis files.
