Formulas

Formulas in Operations and Regulations are pieces of VB.NET that perform specific functions in your agency's workflows.

For example, these are some of the formulas that can be written for building application workflows in the CDR module:

  • AddOnCondition formulas: Decide whether to add related items to an application, such as inspections, reviews, conditions, and fees.
  • Fee value formulas: Calculate the value of a fee.
  • Next milestone formulas: Determine which milestone follows the current one in the permitting process.
  • Status check formulas: Perform status checks to determine if an application can advance to the next milestone.
  • Expiration date formulas: Calculate an application’s expiration date.

Each formula is written for a specific business object, and expects a specific outfit. For example, an AddOnCondition formula for a review type expects a Boolean value to determine whether or not a review is added to an application.
