Perform powerful calculations on related objects
Automatically calculate and manipulate property values across objects in a parent-child hierarchy, without scripting.
Streamline workflows and reduce errors with simple configuration.
Simple user requests, complex work for you
Processes around document automation often depend on real-time property calculations. That’s why you frequently hear questions like:
How many open tasks are left on this project?
Can we sum all logged hours per employee?
Can this value update automatically when something changes?
The logic is simple, but implementing it usually isn’t.
In M-Files, these calculations typically rely on VB scripts, which require programming skills and take more time to develop, test, and maintain.
Real-time calculations made simple
Extension Kit Core makes it easy to calculate values across parent-child object relationships using configurable, no-code rules. Whether you’re summing hours, counting tasks, or calculating averages, the setup is fast, flexible, and reliable.
Why it matters: Instantly calculate business-critical values — like the number of open tasks per project, total logged hours per employee, or remaining vacation days — without writing a single line of code.
Benefits you can count on
Use cases
When a new hour logging event is created, automatically sum all HLEs per task and populate the Total work property on related tasks.
When a new task is created, update the Project metadata card with the number of currently open tasks.
