Getting Started with the Calculation Algorithms Extension in the Desktop Application

To work with the tool in Foresight Analytics Platform 10, use the new interface.

To get started with the extension, create a new or open a ready calculation algorithm.

To create a new calculation algorithm in the object navigator:

Click the New Object > User Objects > Calculation Algorithm button in the Create group on the Home ribbon tab.
Select the Create > User Objects > Calculation Algorithm item in the object navigator's context menu.

The Insert Object dialog box opens, in which enter name and identifier of the calculation algorithm to be created. Then the created calculation algorithm will be opened.

To open a ready calculation algorithm for edit in the object navigator select the calculation algorithm and execute one of the operations:

Click the Edit button in the Open group of the Home ribbon tab.
Select the Edit item in the calculation algorithm's context menu.
Press F4.

To open a ready calculation algorithm for view in the object navigator select the calculation algorithm and execute one of the operations:

Click the Open button in the Open group of the Home ribbon tab.
Select the Open item in the calculation algorithm's context menu.
Double-click the calculation algorithm.

To open a ready calculation algorithm for view in the web application, use the Designer of Business Applications extension.
