What does the Computation tab do?

PowerSteering will compute the value of a line item based on a formula that is configured using the template's line items and supported operators when all of the following conditions are true:

  • The line item is not a Static or Separator item.
  • The line item does not already contain data.
  • The line item does not have a constraint.

This article describes how to define formulas on the Computation tab.
