Custom configuration fields

[IgorSivakov]

How can I add a name for custom configuration field? I can't find anything about it in manual

Metadata fields have names declared on the dialog box where you create them.

To see a 'name' as a description field on a configuration form, click the Labels tab.

If you are referring to the "Display Name" for a custom field then this can't be set using the UI in ViewX, but can be set by manually modifying the "ClearSCADAMetadata.xml" file on each server. The server will need to be restarted after changing the file.

See https://tprojects.schneider-electric.com/GeoSCADAHelp/Geo%20SCADA%202020/Default.htm#ServerAdministr...  to find the location of the metadata file.

In the XML file the Field element has a displayName attribute, for example:

<Table name="CGroup">
<Field stream="Config" displayName="Software Level 1" description="" type="String" length="129" row="5" column="2" rowCount="1" opcProp="0360E02F" writePrivilege="CFG" extraFieldType="SearchKey">swLevel1</Field>
</Table>
