How to add Numbers and Calculations using the Form Builder

The Weever Form Builder provides specialized tools for handling numerical data and complex arithmetic.

 

Key Takeaways

  • The Weever Form Builder provides specialized tools for handling numerical data and complex arithmetic.
  • Number Check fields serve as a critical validation tool by allowing administrators to define specific minimum and maximum acceptable ranges.
  • If an operator enters a value outside of these parameters, the system provides an immediate alert; if that value is submitted, a Process Alert is generated for further review.
     
  • Beyond simple data entry, the system supports Automated Calculations to improve accuracy and operational efficiency.
  • By first establishing standard number fields for raw data (such as sample measurements), administrators can then configure calculations to determine deviations, sums, and averages.
  • These calculations are dynamic, meaning the output of one can be used as a variable in subsequent calculations, facilitating sophisticated multi-step data processing.

 

"How-To" Guide: Managing Numbers and Calculations

 
Configuring Number Checks
  1. Add a Number Check field to your form.
  2. In the field settings, input your required minimum and/or maximum values.
  3. The system will now automatically warn users if an entry is out of range and trigger a Process Alert upon submission of non-compliant data.
Creating Automated Calculations
  1. Add Input Fields: First, create the standard Number fields where the operator will enter raw data (e.g., "Sample 1 Weight").
  2. Add a Calculation Field: Select the Calculation Result field type.
  3. Define the Logic: Choose the mathematical operation (Sum, Average, or Deviation).
  4. Select Variables: Choose the specific Number fields created in step 1 to include in the math.
  5. Chain Calculations: To perform complex math, create a new calculation and select a previously created Calculation Result as one of your data sources.
