Calculate Current Field
Stored calculated fields in the database can sometimes become
inaccurate. This happens when a dependent field found in another report (e.g., the previous days report or a different report type) used in the calculation is changed.
Some calculated fields in OpenWells are 'stored' calculated fields, meaning the calculation result is stored in the database. When a Data Entry Form is opened the 'stored' calculation is extracted from the database. If a dependent field of the calculation, located in the data entry form from another report is changed, the 'stored' calculation is not updated in the database and therefore can become incorrect.
To verify that a 'stored' calculated field is correct, select the field and follow the menu path:
Configure > Calculate Current Field
The field is recalculated and the result is 'stored' in the database.
Calculate All Fields
Stored calculated fields in the database can at times become inaccurate. This can happen when a dependent field found in another report (e.g., the previous days report or a different report type) used in the
calculation is changed.
Some calculated fields in OpenWells are 'stored' calculated fields, meaning the calculation result is stored in the database. When a Data Entry Form is opened the 'stored' calculation is extracted from the database. If a dependent field of the calculation, located in the data entry form from another report is changed, the 'stored' calculation is not updated in the database and therefore can become incorrect.
