Calculated Custom Fields (CalcCF)

Calculated Custom Fields enable ActiveControl customers to write their own custom calculations and logic upon which Rules Engine rules can be based. Essentially this custom calculation is written to a custom field on the Transport Form or Business Task, which then drives behaviour of the Rules Engine consumers.

A new calculated custom field type has been created to support this new functionality. This is configured via the Windows GUI. A new implementation method/class is available for customers to write their own complex custom calculations, which will result in a value being populated in the Calculated Custom Field.

* Please refer to this online FAQ for a Calculated Custom Field configuration example.

/BTI/TE_CCF_IMPL

It is possible to have more than one calculated custom field (CCF). Table /BTI/TE_CCF_IMPL is used to associate the CCF to the specific implementor.

!Calculated Customer Fields is an advanced topic of the Rules Engine, and will not be required in most customer implementations of ActiveControl. The core Rules Engine capabilities should fulfil the vast majority of customer process / workflow requirements.
