View Configuration feature
For users with appropriate security groups, a feature that supports creating certain types of fields and making them available to a select set of views by working directly from Web views and consoles. With this feature, administrators of systems hosted both locally and on the Cloud can create fields without updating the schema or having the in-depth knowledge of a database administrator.
The View Configuration feature supports:
- defining new fields directly from Web views and consoles and making the fields available to a select set of views (user-defined fields)
- promoting stock fields in the database so that they are available for display and editing in a select set of views (promoted fields)
You can configure fields of these tables:
- Buildings
- Floors
- Rooms
- Equipment
- Equipment Standards
- Employees
by working with 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)
In addition to seeing your changes in these views, the changes for the Rooms and Employees tables are also available to the Space Console view. Equipment changes are visible in portions of the equipment consoles, such as the Equipment Lifecycle Console.
View configurations are stored in the afm_view_configuration table. They are shared between all users. System managers can make a view configuration available to other views.
