Calculated Fields

Concepts

Calculated fields are a powerful addition to VSys. They let you perform one or more operations on an existing, pre-defined data field before it's printed or used within a report. They are especially useful in Summary/crosstab reports as well as in other custom reports where you want to do page breaks and/or sorting on something other than the built-in fields. There are three different types of calculated field:

• Calculated field
• Mapped field
• Mapped image field

Define calculated fields by using the Add calculated fields link within the report.

Edit a field by clicking on it, right-click on a field to edit or delete it, and click on the Add... links to define an all-new field.
