To create a calculated field, you can combine the data of existing fields through simple expressions or MQL Operator Expressions.

A calculated field definition can contain either simple expression language or operator expression language. You can't use both simple and operator expression language in the same definition.

To create a calculated field:

  1. In the corner of the Fields pane, click Add Field.

  2. Select Calculated.

  3. Enter the Field Name of the calculated field that you want to define. To specify a nested field, use dot notation. For example, metadata.target.

  4. Use simple expression language or Operator Expressions to specify the Value Expression .

  5. Click Save Field.

The calculated field appears in italics in the Fields pane.
