A calculator in every field (numeric, that is)

ADAPTcrm has a built in calculator function for:

addition +
subtraction -
multiplication *
division /

For example:

You have a numeric field of price and want to calculate the new price for a quantity

Original value in the field is 9.49

To multiply this by 4, click on the field and type in 4*

Hit the TAB key and your result will show in the SAME field.

The only limitation is doing only ONE calculation at a time. and that you operation cannot use more decimal place than allowed in the original field - the result will be NO change in the answer.

But it works great to get a quick calculation.
