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:

  1. Go to Customization > Plug-ins > Plug-in Implementations > New.

  2. In the Upload Plug-in Implementation page, in the Script File field, click the double arrow, and then click List.

  3. Select the script file you uploaded in the File Cabinet.

  4. Click Create Plug-in Implementation.

  5. In the Select 2.0 Plug-in Type page, select Derived Field Plugin Type.

  6. In the Plug-In Implementation page, enter a plug-in Name.

  7. Enter a custom internal ID.

    If you leave this field blank, the system generates a script ID.

    Whether it’s custom or system-generated, once you save the plug-in, the system 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.

  8. Set the Status of the custom plug-in to Released.

  9. 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.

  10. Enter a plug-in implementation Description.

  11. 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.

  12. To inactivate the current script or plug–in implementation, check the Inactive box.

    Note:

    When a script is set to Inactive, all its deployments are inactive too.

    If you want to inactivate one deployment only, go to the Script Deployments page.

  13. Click Save.

Next, complete the procedure in Updating the Derived Field Plug-in Script ID.
