What are Runtime Fields?
Runtime Fields are dynamic calculations derived from existing attributes and fields within the data foundation. They allow you to compute formulas in real-time without the need for time-consuming pipeline redeployments. Once activated, these fields are available within seconds in Factory Analyze and are ready to be used with Data Visualization or Cookbooks.
Restrictions
Deployed Workspace: Runtime Fields can only be activated within workspaces where a pipeline has been deployed.
Activation: Runtime Fields can only be used when they are activated.
Usage
Runtime Fields: Runtime Fields can be used and referenced when creating other Runtime Fields, as long as all referenced fields are defined on the same machine types.
KPIs: Runtime Fields can be used and referenced in your KPIs.
Accessing Runtime Fields
Follow the steps below to access runtime fields:
Step 1: Navigate to Factory Build
Step 2: Select the Runtime Field Chips for a specific workspace.
Step 3: Access the list of your runtime fields.
Creating Runtime Fields
This guide provides a step-by-step process to create a runtime field.
Step 1: Navigate to the navigation bar and select create new.
Step 2: On the new page, provide a display name for the field.
Step 3: Provide a field name.
Step 4: Select a model from the available options.
Step 5: Choose the asset types for the runtime field.
Step 6: If desired, choose a unit.
Step 7: Select the aggregation for the runtime field.
Step 8: Decide if the field should be visible in applications.
Step 9: Write the formula for the runtime field.
Step 10: Optionally, provide a description for the runtime field.
Step 11: After filling all the fields, select create to finalize the creation of the runtime field.
