 A derived variable is a column that does not exist in the target table, but is computed when the table is loaded into the [EDIT screen](/dc-userguide/#editor). It is read-only, it appears after the physical columns, and it can be filtered on like any other column.
 
 Derived variables are useful when users need to work with a value that is a function of the stored data - a banding, a concatenation, a calculation - without changing the table, the load process, or the ETL.

 # MPE_DERIVED
 
+!!! warning "Draft - not in a release yet"
+    This page describes a feature that is in development. It is published early so
+    the wording and the screenshots can be reviewed; the behaviour described here
+    ships in the next release.
+
 The MPE_DERIVED table is used to configure derived (computed) variables - columns that are created when a table is loaded into the EDIT screen, so that they can be displayed and filtered on without being stored.  More details are available in the [user guide](/derived-variables/)
 
 The table is itself registered in [MPE_TABLES](/tables/mpe_tables/), so it is maintained through the EDIT screen with the usual review and approve workflow.
