Equation Field
This field displays an equation if one is defined. To enter an equation or edit an
existing one, click on the Equation... button. A dialog box will appear so that you
can define the information that will appear in this field.
Equation
This column displays an equation defined for the corresponding Custom Field.
Add
Click this button to add a new field to the list of available output fields for your
reports. You can define the name, format and content of each custom field that
you create. Content of Custom fields can be defined to be a specific value, copy of
a field FOR THE SAME SAMPLE, or a formula using mathematical operands on
other field values and/or constants.
Only one operation per Custom Field may be defined. For complex operations, you
may find the need to create several Custom Fields to generate intermediate
values, which can then be combined together in another Custom Field for the final
result. Calculated Custom Fields do NOT have to be included in the final output,
so your intermediate results can be hidden if desired.
Custom Fields are stored with the individual named reports. Custom Fields in one
report are not available in other reports, even in the same assay.
Delete
Clicking the Delete button discards the custom field.
Note: You cannot delete a custom field if it is referenced by an
equation in another field. Delete or modify any field(s) that
reference the one you want to delete, so that you can then delete
the desired field.
