  Calc Manager Functionality  There are two options to build a rule ● Graphical, using the Rule Palette ● Script Mode  Details on Graphical Model ● Great choice for inexperienced developers, potentially even power users ● This is the default mode for creating and editing a rule ● Drag new and/or existing objects into the rule. ● Generates calc script coding based on objects in palette ● Global ranges define global FIX statements

  Calc Manager Functionality  Details on Script Mode ● Similar to creating a calc script in EAS ● Developer can create rule in EAS and paste into script  Rule can be designed in Graphical Mode, edited in Script Mode, and returned to Graphical Mode.
