To create an application computation:
Navigate to the Shared Components page:
On the Workspace home page, click Application Builder.
Select an application.
On the Application home page, click Shared Components.
The Shared Components page appears.
Under Logic, select Application Computations.
Click Create.
Under Item:
Sequence - Specify the sequence for this component. The sequence determines the order of evaluation.
Computation Item - Select the item this computation affects.
For Computation Point, select a process point at which this computation should be performed. Selecting After Submit causes the computation to be performed only after the page is displayed and then submitted.
Under Computation:
Computation Type - Select the manner in which this computation will be performed.
Computation - Enter the computation logic that corresponds to the computation type.
Computation Error Message - Enter the error message that displays if the computation fails.
For Authorization Scheme (optional), select an authorization scheme which must evaluate to True in order for this computation to execute.
Under Conditions:
Condition Type - Select a condition type that must be met in order for this computation to execute.
Expression 1 and Expression 2 - Use these attributes to conditionally control whether or not the computation executes. Enter values in this attribute based on the specific condition type you select. The computation will execute if the specified condition is met.
For Build Option (optional), select a build option for this component. See "Using Build Options to Control Configuration".
Click Create.
Once you create an application computation, it appears on the Application Computations page. You control how the page displays by making a selection from the View list. Available options include:
Icons (the default) displays each computation as a large icon. To edit an computation, click the appropriate icon.
Details displays each application process as a line in a report. To edit a computation process, click the name.
