Define the Calculations
The final objects on this form are fill text objects that have calculations
defined on them. In Fill View, these fields become part of a calculation
that determines the profit this user makes on each job after expenses.
These calculations are very simple but you have the ability to create
much more complex ones. See Chapter 9, Using Calculations, for
detailed information.

Click the Fill Text tool.

With the object still selected, click the Object Definition button

Click OK.
Numbers entered in the Rate fill text field will use the currency
symbol and number format appropriate to the current form
language ($3,000,000 for U.S. English for example). Negative
numbers will appear within parentheses: ($3,000,000).
