Calculation method

explanation

Static calculations (calculated fields)

Using calculated fields, you can calculate fields when aggregation processes such as daily report aggregation are performed, and save the calculation results as part of the aggregated data. To use calculated fields, you must first define the field's calculation formula in a definition file called a "calculated field master."

For information on how to use calculated fields, see "Static Calculations of Fields (Defining Calculated Field Master)".

Dynamic calculation (calculation expression specification)

When selecting a data source in point registration (page settings) on the daily report screen, you can specify an arithmetic expression. The arithmetic expression allows you to specify multiple data sources, and allows the calculation results of multiple fields to be displayed in the columns of the daily report. The advantage of dynamic calculation is that the arithmetic expression can be freely edited during operation. On the other hand, dynamic calculation is a mechanism in which calculations are performed dynamically when the daily report screen is displayed, so it differs from static calculation in that the calculation results are not included in the actual summary data.
