;[User Calc|USER_CALC_CODE]: This field refers to the user-defined name given to the UserCalc. Once the UserCalc has been created it can be edited, however, you can not edit it once the UserCalc is in production. You have to Un-Publish it on [IMUCA] first. As with Benefit and Attendance UserCalcs, we recommend that a naming convention be used for Workflow UserCalcs. For example, AT is used for the Attendance application, BE for the Benefits application and WF for the Workflow application. This will allow for efficient queries once the UserCalc list becomes large. See [special characters|NAMING CONVENTION AND STANDARDS] section for naming rules.

;[Product|PRODUCT_CODE]: The product indicates which module the UserCalc has been defined for. For example, PR-Payroll, BE-Benefits, AT- Attendance, FC-Forecasting & Costing and WF-Workflow.\\ \\With respect to Workflow, this field specifies the table code on which the workflow trigger is located. This field should be identical to the name of the "Table" in [IMWA]. In all cases except workflow, it is the application that controls which fields in which tables will be accessible by the UserCalc. For example, in an Attendance UserCalc, the Leave Accrual Table would be accessible, but not benefits information.\\ \\NOTE In the NG system (5.01+), the PRODUCT field can not be changed once it has been added. This was done to avoid issues/errors arising from building a user calc for one product and then changing it to another.

|Secondary WF |This option tells the Workflow engine that this User Calc is ONLY to be called from another user calc and should NOT be fired on its own by the triggering product.
|Pro-Active WF|If the user calc is used for Pro-Active Workflow, then this must be selected. Using this selection will allow the [UMPWF] to execute the user calc.

%%strike %%strike ;[Compile|]: This button allows the user to check the syntax of a UserCalc by creating the SQL code. This step does not ensure accuracy of the UserCalc, it merely checks that there are no UserCalc language errors such as incorrect syntax or infinite loops.
%%strike ;[Publish UserCalc|]: If the user is signed-on as 'P2K' then a UserCalc may be re-published directly in the IMUC form if it was already 'In Production' and needed to be re-validated. If a user has taken a copy of an 'In Production' UserCalc and wishes to test it without losing the original UserCalc, then they may publish it. This means that wherever the original UserCalc is referenced, Personality will now use the newly published version.%%

;[If Goto|GOTO_LINE]: The ''If Goto'' field must be completed for every line. For any IF, FREQ, PPE, BOM, or EOM command there must be a true path (If
Goto), and a false path (Else Goto). • The ''If Goto'' field tells the UserCalc program which line to proceed to in a __True__ situation. In a situation without a true and false path (i.e. Let PC 110 Equal +12), only the ''If Goto'' field is mandatory. If the ''If Goto'' column is double-clicked on the user will be taken to that line.

;[Description]: To make UserCalcs more easily read and maintained, a Notes field has been provided. Notes should be used to explain the calculations made and the logic of the UserCalc. If the user calc is used for workflow emails, the text of the email body is added here. The text used in the description should not use ORACLE RESERVED words or special characters.

Once the UserCalc has been compiled, this tab will display the SQL query that is automatically created from the user calc lines.
%%warning
please note that user calculations are limited to 30,000 bytes. If you have a usercalc that exceeds this volume it is recommended to use the "CALL" program to reduce the size, or to break the usercalculation into smaller logical components.
Bytes will also include logic called in the "Notes" section of the user calculation.%%
