Configuring Calculation Fields

The Numeric ‘Calculation’ Field Type enables you to calculate values based on Number and Currency fields. Here’s an example:

Suppose you have three number fields:

You can create a calculation field that multiplies these input values to calculate a ‘Total M3’ value. When all three fields are filled in AppCan XP, the calculated result will be displayed.

• Length
• Width
• Depth

• To configure ‘Calculation’ Fields, select the 3 bar icon in ‘Options’ against the field.
• This will bring up the ‘Simple Calculation Field’ modal.

• Select the field(s) you wish to use and the required ‘Operator’.  The operators available are plus, minus, multiply & divide.  The final field used for calculation should be set to ‘Result’.
• Once you have configured the calculation, select ‘Confirm’, and ‘Save’ or ‘Published’ the app as required.

Fixed Value

• You can use ‘Fixed Values’ in your calculation.  For instance, in the example below, the length and width will be multiplied by 0.84.

• Select a ‘Field Name’ of ‘Fixed Value’ and enter the value required in your calculation.
