Example for Quick Calc

For this example, you can see how a change to an item effects the VIT_A and CARBOHYDRATES parameters.

  1. In the Formula form, click the Item Lines tab or view the Quick Calc Parameters grid. Then, click Quick Calc.
  2. When the Quick Calc Parameters grid is displayed, click Add Row. Child tabs are not displayed when the Quick Calc Parameters grid is displayed. Then, specify the parameters that you want to monitor. For this example, specify VIT_A and CARBOHYDRATES.


  3. In the Item Lines grid, change the quantity or quantity percentage of at least one item. The new parameter values are calculated by Optiva and displayed in the After column. You can also see the Delta values.




  4. In the Parameters tab, you can see the newly calculated values for the VIT_A parameter and the CARBOHYDRATES parameter. The other parameter values remain unchanged.


  5. When you click Calculate All, all of the parameter values for the formula are recalculated. At that time, all of the parameters that are listed in the Parameters tab are updated.

    If you open another formula, the Quick Calc Parameters grid shows the same parameters that you specified for the previous formula. The list of Quick Calc parameters is global for the current user. All formulas show the same set of Quick Calc parameters.

    If you open a formula and you do not have security access to the parameters, then the Quick Calc button and Quick Calc Parameters grid are hidden.
