I need to add some custom fields in IFS cloud environment to recreate a customer scenario.  

Is there a method in IFS cloud to add custom filed directly? Furthermore, if I need to add number of custom fields in IFS cloud what is the best method?

Hi Elath,

Custom fields can be added in IFS Cloud environment also. There are few things to be checked before.

System parameters for category Custom object frameworks should be enabled (ON). Otherwise custom fields cannot be added neither work. 

 

And custom fields can be added into respective underlying entity of your needed page via window 'Entity Configuration' as in below. Search for the needed entity and add as a new attribute in ‘Custom Attributes’ section.

 

Example below adding custom fields to entity “CustomerInfo”.

 

You can check the underlying entity info via Debug Console as in below.

Example below shows entity relevant to page "Customer", which is ‘CustomerInfo’.

 

After that created custom fields can be added into your page via 'Page Designer'.

 

Hope this info will be helpful. 

 

Best Regards,

Hi @Anjaleen Davidson/ @Bandula ,

 

If we add custom fields for an entity related to MWO Maint App, is there anything additional we should do to show it on MWO app? 

 

Ex: Entity - EquipmentObject

Added Cust Field and data is retrieving on web client:

 

But in MWO Maint App, I cannot see the field yet even though I initialize it:

 

* Custom fields are in published state

 

Appreciate any help in this. Thanks.
