The Extrafield Group feature provides IMS users with the flexibility to enhance their network object models by allowing new tab pages and data fields to be added. As IMS is an off the shelf product, it would be impossible to take into consideration every piece of network information.

 

For this purpose, this feature allows each network provider to model their particular ‘extra’ fields of information they require, which then become supplemental to IMS’ standard fields. These extra fields are placed in their own tab page in existing standard IMS object forms.

 

An example of an Extrafield Group could be a set of data that needs capturing for GSM/5G Sites or equipment at those sites.

 

Some terminology useful to know then is:

 

Extra Field Groups are the tab pages

Extra Fields are the user defined supplemental fields in those tab pages
