    • + New Calculated Field: To create a new calculated field.
    • Other Actions > Copy: To create a new calculated field from a calculated field that is already open on the form.
  3. Complete the fields on the form.
  4. Click Check Calculation to verify that the formula syntax is valid.
  5. Click Save.
    The calculated field that you created is accessible from applicable reports.
