User-derived fields are derived by using the values of other fields.
You can create two types of derived fields:

• Detailed derived fields

The fields contain values that are derived from one or more
detail fields within a single record.
For example, you can create a detailed derived field by dividing

a field of your choice by 60 seconds.
For details, see "Create Detailed Derived Fields (page 243)".

• Summary derived fields
