CMS Database Table Basics

18-12

Data from More
Than One Table

18

A calculation can merge data from more than one table in a report field.

For example, you may want the percentage of a split’s ACD calls that an
agent handled in a day. Thus, you can enter a calculation that merges
data from the Daily Agent and Daily Split tables, as in the following
example.

dagent.ACDCALLS/dsplit.ACDCALLS

When you merge data from two tables, you must define your row search
conditions in a special way.

You cannot use calculation names for a field in which you merge data
from two tables.
