Using Calculations
This chapter describes how to use OmniForm’s calculation features.
OmniForm automatically performs calculations when you fill in the
appropriate field(s).
Use calculations to automate data entry and prevent errors. For
example, the average person might find it time-consuming to add a
column of 100 numbers, and easy to make an error, but OmniForm can
return an error-free sum in a fraction of a second. All you have to do is
define the calculation properly and OmniForm does the rest of the work.
