Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to tell which Measures are directly mapped to a database field and which are calculated fields by Phocas?

It would be good to be able to quickly differentiate to know if there is a data cleanse issue or if a calculation needs to be checked/verified. Andy

Hi Andy,

You can tell which fields are calculated in Design if they do not have the up arrow with the two legs beside them as shown in the screen shot below. You can also click on the edit button for each measure to see if there is a calculation or a standard field.
