user-defined field
A field that a user with appropriate security settings adds to the Buildings, Floors, Rooms, or Employees tables using the View Configuration feature. Once created, user-defined fields exist in the Archibus Fields table; within a view 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 create user-defined fields using the Add User Defined Field form, which is available from the Define Locations, Define Employees, and Define Rooms views.
The following types of fields can be created as user-defined fields:
- text fields
- enumeration fields
- integer and number fields
- date and time fields
