Calculated values

A calc field is any named property of type "Archie2Calc". Calc fields contain values that consist of fragments of Smalltalk code which is executed whenever that particular property is displayed in any EVA Netmodeler browser.

Although it is theoretically possible to execute any Smalltalk code snippet using calc fields, a number of common Calc Fields Methods have been predefined to make the use of this feature easier for the user.

This feature is particularly useful for deriving property values based on other properties in the repository even if the properties are in other types. For example, you could define a property on Programme to calculated the total programme budget as the sum of the included projects. Another example would be to determine the Programme end date based on the last project finish date.

Please refer tot he Developer Help section for more assistance with this feature.
