Insert Local Calculation Element

Local calculation elements are those calculation elements that have no link to the master data. You add local calculation elements by creating and inserting them directly in the calculation or by copying and pasting them as copies of global templates.

You can directly create new local project elements in the ribbon via the Insert tab, Local resources group or via the Resources group based on global templates.
