Updating Values of Calculated Fields 

Use

Calculated field values appear in read-only gray on the Record Details tab. Their read-only values are determined by the expression entered for the field in the MDM Console.

MDM automatically updates calculated field values whenever changes are made to main table fields or qualified table fields via the Data Manager or through import. However, calculations based on lookup field values are not updated automatically after fields on the lookup table are modified. In these cases, the calculated field must either be updated manually from the Records pane or else the entire repository must be unloaded and then reloaded with the Build Indices option (see the MDM Console Reference Guide for more information about unloading and reloading repositories).

Procedure

To manually update the values of a record’s calculated fields, simply right-click on the record in the Records pane and choose Recalculate from the context menu. All calculated field values in the selected records will be updated by this operation.
