Calculation control

You can use a calculation control for performing mathematical operations on a set of fields and storing the result in another field. For example, on a form, you can add two numeric type field values and display the result in another numeric type field.

Properties

Field Mapping: Select an index field from this list in order to map the calculation control to the field.

Configure: Opens the Edit Calculation window were you can specify an equation.
