Creating a Derived Field Plug-in Implementation
Follow this procedure to create a Derived Field Plug-in implementation.
Before you begin this procedure, complete Creating a Derived Field Plug-in Implementation Script.
To create a Derived Field Plug-in implementation:
-
Go to Customization > Plug-ins > Plug-in Implementations > New.
-
In the Upload Plug-in Implementation page, in the Script File field, click the double arrow, and then click List.
-
Select the script file you uploaded in the File Cabinet.
-
Click Create Plug-in Implementation.
-
In the Select 2.0 Plug-in Type page, select Derived Field Plugin Type.
-
In the Plug-In Implementation page, enter a plug-in Name.
-
Enter a custom internal ID.
If this field is left blank, the system generates a script ID.
Regardless of whether the ID is custom or system-generated, after the plug-in implementation saves, the system automatically adds the prefix customscript to the ID.
For example, a custom script ID called _derived_field_imp appears as customscript_derived_field_imp after the template saves.
-
Set the Status of the custom plug-in to Released.
-
Select a Log Level:
-
Debug – For scripts in testing mode. Selecting this level shows all Debug, Audit, Error, and Emergency information in the script log.
The default selection is Debug.
-
Audit – For scripts running in production mode. Selecting this level provides a record of events that have occurred during the processing of the script.
For example, A request was made to an external site.
-
Error – For scripts running in production mode. Selecting this level shows only unexpected script errors in the script log.
-
Emergency – For scripts running in production mode. Selecting this level shows only the most critical errors in the script log.
-
-
Enter a plug-in implementation Description.
-
Select an Owner for the plug-in implementation.
By default, the Owner is set as the user logged in during the creation of the plug-in implementation.
After the system creates the plug-in implementation, only the owner of the script can modify it.
-
To inactivate the current script or plug–in implementation, check the Inactive box.
Note:When a script is set to Inactive, all associated deployments of the script are also inactive.
To inactivate a specific deployment rather than all deployments of this script, go to the Script Deployments page.
-
Click Save.
Next, complete the procedure in Updating the Derived Field Plug-in Script ID.
