User Defined Fields

Calculated fields

You can also use calculated fields to change how Browser will present the data. Calculated fields are called User Symbolics in Vernon CMS.

For example, a department may several different levels within it. You may want each of those to appear as separate links or buttons on the website.
Another example is classification. You might want to split a species name from a genus so that you can show genus as a link on the website.

We can help you create calculated fields that split the data in Vernon CMS.
