Add custom field to chanel

[LouisC]

Hi!

I wonder if there is a way to enter custom values into chanels. More precisely, my client would like to add a description for each chanel (in addition to name, format, etc…), and eventualy other specific fields in the future.
Can we do it with Scada Admin ? If not, is it in the development roadmap ?

Thank you.

Hi,
The Channels table has the particular number fields. To add new properties related to channels, I suppose, an additional database table should be added to implement customer needs.

For example, you create a database schema using PostgreSQL, and develop web UI to edit it. Your data would refer Rapid SCADA channels.

Thank you for your answer. So to do this, I’m forced to find a way outside Rapid Scada ?

My vision is that the solution can include a new database schema and the custom web forms built in the Webstation application as a web plugin. It requires development that is not a part of the Rapid SCADA core.
