From c25686c77b36e388cb6cb19e7e50dc8eac2776dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dc Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 22:13:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs(derived): mark the page as draft so it can merge before the release A warning banner on both pages, and '(draft)' in the navigation title, so a reader is not surprised when the feature is not in their installed version. Remove both when the release carrying derived variables goes out. mkdocs build passes; the banner and all four images render. --- docs/derived-variables.md | 5 +++++ docs/tables/mpe_derived.md | 5 +++++ mkdocs.yml | 4 ++-- 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/derived-variables.md b/docs/derived-variables.md index d30567e..1b6b6e2 100644 --- a/docs/derived-variables.md +++ b/docs/derived-variables.md @@ -6,6 +6,11 @@ description: Derived variables are computed columns that appear in the EDIT scre # Derived Variables +!!! warning "Draft - not in a release yet" + This page describes a feature that is in development.

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. diff --git a/docs/tables/mpe_derived.md b/docs/tables/mpe_derived.md index 25faec4..aab1b23 100644 --- a/docs/tables/mpe_derived.md +++ b/docs/tables/mpe_derived.md @@ -6,6 +6,11 @@ description: The MPE_DERIVED table is used to configure computed columns that ap # MPE_DERIVED +!!! warning "Draft - not in a release yet" + This page describes a feature that is in development.
