user-defined field
A database field that a user with appropriate security settings defines and adds to the schema. Once created, user-defined fields exist in the Archibus Fields table; within a view, they behave like any other field of their type. In the database schema, user-defined fields are indicated with a value of "User" for the Domain Name field of the Archibus Fields table.
You can define fields for these tables:
- Buildings
- Floors
- Rooms
- Equipment
- Equipment Standards
- Employees
You create user-defined fields using the Add User Defined Field form, which is available from these views:
- Define Locations (
ab-sp-def-loc-rm.axvw) - Define Employees (
ab-common-def-em.axvw) - Manage Equipment and Standards (
ab-ess-def-eq.avxw)
The following types of fields can be created as user-defined fields:
- text fields
- enumeration fields
- integer and number fields
- date and time fields
