Business rule for field calculation

[Andrew_TND]

At the moment I have a calculation on the field to work out the percentage of a contracts consumed value.

(function calculatedFieldValue(current) {
	var consumedper = current.u_consumed_hours / current.u_total_hours*100;
	return consumedper;
})(current);

I'm no good with making business rules unless its fairly simple functional stuff e.g. if somethings x it sets another field to y.

I also want to include this into an event for email notifications.

Can anyone help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Andrew,

Where do you want that calculation to be performed?

Do you want calculation to happen when record inserted/updated? If yes then you can have this in before insert/update business rule

Sample script:

var consumedper = current.u_consumed_hours / current.u_total_hours*100;

current.<percentageField> = consumedper;

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

That worked a treat, thank you!

How do I trigger an event from that? I'm looking for something to trigger on 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%

Great that it worked.

Can you mark my answer as correct and helpful.

Also for triggering the notification on particular percentage reach you can use workflow.
