- Repeat the previous steps to define all operands you need to calculate your custom feature.
- All defined operands are displayed in the Define Operands list.
- Under Define Custom Expression, enter your operands and use the mathematical operators to define the calculation for your custom feature, e.g. 100*(a/b+Math.Pow(c,2)).
- Click Verify Expression.
- The syntax of your expression is checked and verified. In case the expression is not valid, an error message is displayed.
