UDF Calculated Field - Difference Between On Save and On Entity Change

There are several calculated UDF fields at the project level and three options to determine when they calculate. Understand the option that updates the field nightly via the scheduled job but can not determine the difference between the option to calculate on save versus when the entity changes. Does the "entity" refer to the Project entity or the field entity?


For “Calculate only if the entity has been change” will calculate the field anytime a change is made to the PROJECT and not necessarily the data being used in the calculated field. If there is no chance, it will not re-calculate.
