Complex properties

Complex properties do not hold a value you type in directly, they derive it. A Formula computes its value from other fields on the same record, a Rollup aggregates one across every related record, a Grade scores the record against a rubric you write, an External property resolves its value from a connected third-party provider, Usage rolls up product-usage events, and Object Mapping projects a record’s fields onto another object’s shape. Because their values come from a computation or an outside source rather than direct entry, complex properties behave differently from the types above. Set up the inputs or the connection, and the value follows.

Formula

A computed value derived from other fields.

Rollup

Aggregate a value across every related record.

Grade

Score a record out of 100 from a rubric, with the reasoning attached.

External

A value resolved from a third-party provider.

Usage

Roll product-usage events up onto a record.

Object Mapping

Map a record’s fields onto another object’s shape.
