Purpose

Within the Form Schema page, users have the ability to enhance their data by incorporating a New Math Field. This feature enables users to seamlessly integrate mathematical computations into their quality checks.

What can you do with it?

The goal of the New Math Field is to allow users to embed sophisticated math expressions within their forms. By using this functionality, users can automate calculations, ensuring precision and efficiency in their quality management processes.

How is it done?

  1. Label Creation:

    • Enter a Label: Define a clear and concise identifier for your math field.

  2. Detailed Description:

    • Add Description: Provide descriptive details about what the math field accomplishes, enhancing user clarity.

  3. Information Tooltip:

    • Input Info Icon: Supply additional insight into the function and use of the math field.

  4. Form Element Setup:

    • Form Elements for Math: Create instructions for integrating necessary form elements into the math expression, ensuring accurate setups.

  5. Numeric Field Selection:

    • Reference Numeric Field: Choose the numeric data to be used in calculation. This selects which values are calculated dynamically.

  6. Math Expression Definition:

    • Input Math Expression: Specify the formula required. This automates the computation processes contained in the form.

  7. Precision Adjustment:

    • Step Selection: Adjust the increment value to fit your precision needs, selecting from any; 1; .01; .001; .0001; .00001.

  8. Conditional Visibility:

    • Set Conditionals: Define visibility criteria based on other form widget values. This affects when and to whom the math field is visible.

Important Considerations

  • Always double-check your Math Expressions for accuracy to avoid calculation errors.

  • Select Numeric Fields and Step Values carefully to maintain precision and relevancy in calculations.

  • Ensure Conditionals are correctly set up to optimize form usability and visibility for relevant tasks.

Best Practices

  • Use descriptive Labels and Descriptions to maintain clarity and usability across teams.

  • Revisit and monitor the efficiency of your Math Expressions to align with evolving data requirements.

  • Regularly update Info Icons to reflect changes and help educate users on their purpose.

  • Test the math field in different scenarios to ensure flawless execution and form behavior.
