For ad hoc, service administrators enable calc on the fly in the web application; users enable it in User Preferences. For Forms 2.0, form designers enable calc on the fly in the required forms.

Enabling Calc on the Fly for Ad Hoc Grids

Service administrators can enable member formulas for calc on the fly in the web application and users can enable them in users preferences. The member formulas are referred to as "user formulas" in the web application settings. These formulas must be enabled at following levels, so that users can use them for performing calc on the fly.

• Enable at the application level: As a service administrator, select the Yes option from the Enable User Formulas in Ad Hoc list present under Other Options in Settings. For more information, see:
  • What Application and System Settings Can I Specify? in Administering Planning

  • Specifying Application Settings in Administering Financial Consolidation and Close
  • Specifying Application Settings in Administering Tax Reporting
  • Application Settings in Administering and Working with Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management
• Enable at the user preference level: As a user, select the Yes option from the Enable User Formulas in Ad Hoc list present under Display in User Preferences. Note that this user preference setting overrides the application setting set by service administrators. For more information, see:
