Our form asks interns to submit their morning hours and their afternoon hours.
How do we create a field that adds those together? That would then let us use a conditional to display a message if the total hours they submit is too many or too few.
I looked at the Form Calculation field, and there is no explanation of how it works (a mystery!) nor any link to an article explaining it.
Thanks
Robert
