Recalculating field values

Changes to custom field configurations may affect calculated field values. You can select when to recalculate the values.

Tip:  You can also create an escalation rule to schedule field recalculations. See Adding escalation rules.

1. Save any changes to custom fields.

The Recalculate dialog box opens.

2. Select a recalculation option.

  • Delay recalculation until <server time> specifies when to recalculate fields. Select a time.
  • Recalculate now updates the calculated values in all fields immediately.

Note:  Recalculating fields automatically creates an escalation rule that runs once, either immediately or at the specified time. Performance may be slower when the escalation rule runs.

  • Do not recalculate recalculates fields only when individual items are modified.

3. Click OK.
