'''2. How to calculate sum of Dynamic Custom Field'''
'''****The following instructions are for those who have Global System Administrator only. Please contact your system administrator before proceeding. ****'''
You will need to create in total three custom fields. Two custom fields that will be display before (having a smaller display order than) the Dynamic Custom Field (i.e if the dynamic custom field have display order of 2050 then the two custom fields display order have to be smaller than 2050 like 2045 and 2047). One custom fields will be located within the dynamic custom field.
'''Step 1:''' Create the 1st custom field using type "Text box - Single Line" that will be store the value of the sum or total. You need to remember the Field ID of this custom field before proceeding to step 2. The Field ID is located in the last column of the "Field List" view.
'''Step 2:''' Create the 2nd custom field using type "Special - Browser Script" and paste the following script into the Javascript text box. Replace the "xxxxxx" with the Field ID of the 1st Custom Field that you just created.
<pre>//Set the field that store the total to read only
document.frmevent.cf_xxxxxx.readOnly=true;
}
</pre>
'''Step 3:''' You will need to go to the Edit view of the Dynamic Data - Dynamic Control Field and create a new sub field. Create this 3rd custom field using type "Special - Browser Script" and paste the following script into the Javascript text box. Replace "xxxxx1" with the field id of the Dynamic Data - Dynamic Custom Field. Replace "xxxxx2" and "xxxxx3" with field id of all the fields that you need to sum up.
<pre>var expenseCF = new Array('cf_xxxxx1', 'cf_xxxxx2', 'cf_xxxxx3');
var i = 0;
var number= eval("document.frmevent."+ expenseCF[0] + ".value;");
</pre>
'''NOTE:''' If you want the total to display at the bottom of the dynamic field, you need to create a new field and assign the value of the original total to the new custom field that you just create.
'''NOTE:'''
* At {{l1}} use document.form1
* At {{l2}} and {{l3}} use document.frmevent
* On a [[tabs|tab]] use document.frmedit
==Note==
A comment is automatically added at the start of any browser scripts when they are added to the page which states the [[Custom Field ID|custom field ID]] of the browser script.
* Displays as:
// Browser script cf_123456
* When viewing the source of a page this will facilitate identifying the '''Browser Script''' custom field associated with each portion of script.
