stock field

A field that is defined in the Archibus Fields table in the Archibus standard schema. Although the field is available and defined, a view might not offer it for display or editing. With the View Configuration feature, you can promote a stock field to make it available to a select set of views supported by the Configure Fields feature.

For example, in the Define Locations view, the Configure Fields feature presents all the stock fields of the Rooms table: These fields can be promoted for display and editing in the views that use the View Configuration feature and present the Rooms table.

Note that there are some stock fields in the database that cannot be promoted; accordingly, the Configure Fields form omits these non-promotable fields from the list of stock fields.
