What must the custom formula row's context be set to when creating a custom calculation?

When creating a custom calculation, setting the custom formula row's context to Overtime is crucial because it ensures that the calculation incorporates additional factors typical of overtime scenarios. This means the formula can effectively account for changes in data that are relevant only when specific thresholds or time frames, such as extended hours worked, are reached.

Moreover, using Overtime enables the calculation to respond accurately to variables like hourly rates that may differ when standard hours are exceeded. This context allows for a more precise analysis of situations that require special consideration beyond the regular workload.

The other contexts, such as Standard, Ongoing, and Periodic, serve different purposes and characteristics that may not capture the intricacies involved in calculating overtime-related data. Standard typically deals with normal operating conditions, Ongoing relates to continuous processes, and Periodic focuses on cycles or set intervals. None of these contexts effectively align with the needs presented by overtime calculations, thereby underscoring the importance of choosing Overtime for relevant calculations.
