==What?==
[[Template_Formulas|Template Formulas|Template_Formulas]] provide a method for updating [[Standard_Field|standard ]] or [[Custom_Field|custom field ]] values on an object behind the scenes upon saving. They let you perform extra calculations after saving an object. They can be handy because they let you:
# update an object and perform calculations after it has been saved (i.e. support ticket subjects, say you want to combine an [[Autonumber|autonumber field ]] with the L1 subject but, when you first create the L1, the autonumber hasn't been reserved and stored yet until after you save).
# affect objects at different levels (i.e. a L2 formula can be used to update a L1, an L1 formula can be used to aggregate its contacts).
# easily perform difficult calculations with MySQL functionality and avoid heavy scripting (i.e. perform business day calculations).
==Where?==
The configuration settings can be found on most entities now, such as [[UTA |UTA]] L1, L2, L3, transactions, contact roles, company categories.
