The screenshots were taken on the mocked estate, before setvars began marking computed columns with an fx badge, a tinted header and a left edge where the derived block starts. They are re-taken against a real SAS backend, so the images show what ships, and the page describes the marking. The draft banner comes off both pages, the (draft) suffix off both nav entries, and the roadmap gains its Delivered Features entry - all held until the release lands.

MPE_DERIVED
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
The table is itself registered in MPE_TABLES, so it is maintained through the EDIT screen with the usual review and approve workflow.
