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.
