Work with Derived Fields
A derived field is a system-calculated field with a value based on values in dependent fields. For example, PCS calculates a value for the field Effective IR Correction based on values in the following dependent fields:
-
User IR Correction
-
Structure P/S
-
Structure IRF
-
Inspection Date
Because some rows share data, making a change to one value could impact multiple rows of data.
When a value for a dependent field has been updated in a data entry grid, a 
notification icon displays in the derived field indicating the value has changed and the data entry grid should be refreshed. Click the 
Refresh button to update all derived values and remove the notification icon.
