Inserting Formulas

Top  Previous  Next

 

The Autshumato TMS allows you to easily insert formulas into records. In order to insert a formula, you must have write access to a formula type field (assigned by your Administrator). When selecting a formula field while either creating or editing a record, the DragMath Equation Editor dialog will be opened. The DragMath Equation Editor is an embedded version of the DragMath utility. For more information on DragMath visit http://www.dragmath.bham.ac.uk/.
