Calculated Fields

 

Report Designer will enable the report’s author to use calculated fields within the report.  These fields are user defined fields. 

 

1.   To use a calculated field select the calculated fields icon (http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:rjqCMjwFXPxN8M:http://www.perfect-icons.com/stock-icons/perfect-business/48x48/sum.gif)

 

 

2.   Enter your calculated script or click the field’s button.  A listing of report fields, database fields as well as script functions are made available for use. 

3.   IF/THEN logical example

IF [work order] = ‘10209’ then ‘11111’ 

4.   A click of the OK button will change your cursor to a plus (+) sign where the field may be placed on the report.   ‘11111’ would appear as a separate field if your work order number is ‘10209’.
