Calculated Attribute Functions

Calculated attributes can be set to Description or Specification, which depends on the requirement.

• A calculated description attribute is available to objects based on the object type, just as any other non-calculated description attribute. A calculated description attribute can also be added to a classification (or asset), however any products linked to the classification will not inherit the formula, just as a product would not inherit a non-calculated description attribute on a classification.
• A calculated specification attribute can be available on any object, meaning that the calculated attribute formula will inherit down to the subordinate objects. The value will be displayed based on the attribute(s) at the level where the calculation is displayed, considering any overridden values.

Calculated Value Override

When a calculated attribute displays on an object, the value is read only. Occasionally, the calculated value for a specific product may not be correct. To manually override the value on specific product (and child products for specification attributes, if the value is inherited), right-click the calculated value and click on Override.

To restore the calculated value, simply delete the manually entered value.
