==Overview==
In this article, you will add some additional [[Custom Fields|custom fields]] to the employee [[Role|role]]. The types of fields are widely used within [[SmartSimple]] and provide for versatile processing options.
* '''Multiple Document Field''' – Stores a document either created through the [[Custom Field Type (110): Display Only – Web Page View|Web Page View]] field or uploaded.
==Calculated Field==
You can use arithmetic, string, comparison operators and functions within the calculated [[Custom Field|custom field]].
* The calculations are performed when you click the '''Save''' button and save the page.
===Calculation Order on Page===
* Calculated field formulas are executed in the same order that the calculated fields are displayed on the page – left to right and top to bottom.
* You must not place fields that perform summary calculations based on other calculated fields ABOVE the subordinate calculations.
* If the fields are ordered in this manner saving the page will not update the summary calculation, as summary formula will be executed BEFORE the subordinate calculations are performed.
===Arithmetic Operators===
All values are treated as strings. For arithmetic operations, PARSEINT and PARSEFLOAT function are used to convert the string value to a numeric value.
* '''PARSEFLOAT([Salary]) / 26''' – Divides the Salary by 26 to show a bi-weekly amount.
===Adding a Calculated Field===
1. Add a [[Custom Field]] Type named '''Total Compensation''' to the '''Compensation''' tab.

===Basic HTML Tags Required===

===Document Options===
