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
Leases

You create user-defined fields using the Add User-Defined Field form, which is available from:

Define Locations (ab-sp-def-loc-rm.axvw)
Define Employees (ab-common-def-em.axvw)
Manage Equipment and Standards (ab-ess-def-eq.avxw)
Lease Console (ab-repm-addedit-lease-details-console.axvw)

The following types of fields can be created as user-defined fields:

text fields
enumeration fields
integer and number fields
date and time fields
