Overview
A calculation modifier group is a method of grouping modifiers so that a configuration group will apply to all modifiers within.
Additionally, when grouped, all modifiers within the group will have their multiplier and modifier values summed into single figures which are then applied to the calculation. Utilizing this functionality, a group can effectively represent a bracket in a calculation. See the calculation overview for an example of this implementation.
Note: All modifiers must belong to a modifier group.
Adding a Modifier Group
- Navigate to the Calculation Modifier Group Management screen through Calculations Calculation Modifier Groups
- Fill the configuration options
- Select Add Calculation Modifier Group
Updating a Modifier Group
- Navigate to the Calculation Modifier Group Management screen through Calculations Calculation Modifier Groups
- Select the Calculation Modifier Group
- Update the configuration options
- Select Update Calculation Modifier Group
Configuration Options
| Configuration | Description |
|---|---|
| Calculation Modifier Group ID | A system-generated identifier |
| Name | A description of the group |
| Valid for Calculation Types | A list of calculation types where this group’s modifiers will be applied |
| Valid for Product Categories | A list of product categories whose products, if linked, will have this group’s modifiers applied |
| Mandatory | Checking this option will force all modifiers within the group to be applied to any job which meets the group’s criteria, even if the modifier is not linked through a question answer. |
| Max Count | The maximum quantity of modifiers in this group that can be applied to a job; if more than this value are linked, they are filtered through the settings in max count select |
| Max Count Select | Used to determine which calculation modifiers will be used in a calculation when more than the number specified in max count have been linked to an appointment. For example, lowest will pick the first max_count modifiers with the lowest multiplier and modifier values (with multiplier taking priority over modifier in the comparison) |
| Min / Max Multiplier | Determines the maximum and minimum multiplier values for modifiers within the group, if calculated above / below the modifier will be capped at the set value |
| Priority | Determines the order in which calculation groups are applied within the calculation type |
| Min / Max Modifier | Determines the maximum and minimum modifier values for modifiers within the group, if calculated above / below the modifier will be capped at the set value |
| Cfc ID | A deprecated feature which is still in use in some systems but has been replaced by the product categories configuration option |
