Defining Overrides Via Elements

The Update Via Element feature is used to control which elements can be updated by another element. You can update an element by means of another element in four places in the application:

• Arrays (through the Arrays Fields Retrieved fields on the Array Fields Retrieved page.

• Brackets (through the Return Column fields on the Bracket Search Keys/Return Columns page).

• Dates (through the Date Extract fields on the Date Extract page).

• Formulas (through the Assign To columns on the Formula Definition page).

There are two ways to override the value of an element that's updated through another element: with positive input or by entering an override on the Supporting Element Overrides page, accessible through the Earning/Deduction Assignment page.
