Fields

This menu [Configuration>Object>Fields] can be used to create a custom field based on the selected Streams and (optional) your own mathematical function. Additionally, you can use the Mapping, too. The system includes many of the most useful predefined fields that you can use right after installing the system.

The list of fields is in the table with the following columns:

  • Used in - objects in the System where the Field was used
  • Action
    • Duplicate - creating an editable copy of the selected field
