The calculator that you use with fields that accept numeric values works like a standard calculator, with options to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

To calculate integers:

1. Click a numeric field accepting integers to open the calculator.

4. To subtract the value in the calculator from the current value in the numeric field, click Sub.
5. To close the calculator without applying further changes to the value in the numeric field, click anywhere outside the calculator.

   The calculator closes.
