To configure custom fields for RFID

The default field for using the RFID reader is EPC which is set at the Tenant Level. You can configure custom fields at Tenant/Organization/Plant level to use the RFID reader with AVEVA Mobile Operator app. The Custom fields allows the RFID enabled mobile devices to read, parse, and format the data (in the specified formats) using RFID tags.

1. From the installation media, navigate to the Install/SQLScripts folder, and then edit the UpdateCustomFieldInfoPerPlant.sql script.

2. In the script, do the following steps:

   1. Provide the Peripheral Name.

   2. Provide the required Tenant/Organization/Plant name as PlantOrOrgName.

   3. To add the Custom fields in the Mobile, create an RFID XML Definition and update the FieldCustomInformationBag parameter with the definition.

      For more information on creating the RFID XML Definition, see the topic Prepare RFID XML format files.

   4. To add the Custom fields in the Management Center, update the PropertyBagDefinition in the script by entering the required custom field names in the DataItem tag under the Field Name control. Refer the sample provided in the script.

      • In the Field Name control, the DisplayValue must be the same as the Field Name provided in the RFID XML Definition.

      • In the Field Name control, the DisplayValue and the Value must be the same.

      • The default value of the Integration Type label will be the Peripheral name.

      • Field Name label value will be the value that you had provided in the DataItem tag. For example, if the value for the DataItem is ‘CustomField1’, then the Field Name label would be: "Field Name:CustomField1".

3. Run the script.

   The custom field configured for the peripheral will be available for integration in the Procedure Builder module of Management Center. For more information, see the topic 'Procedure Creation - Peripherals' in the AVEVA Management Center User's Guide.

4. Sync data between the Server and the AVEVA Mobile Operator app.

   The custom fields will be available in the Search Field list under the Search/Input Device screen. For more information, see the AVEVA Mobile Operator App User's Guide for Android and Windows 10.
