Overview
User Extensions allow the functionality of the software to be extended through the creation of custom input fields. These input fields are attached to custom tables. The tables allow for storage and easy access of all miscellaneous information.
Notes
Before working with a User Extension Field value, retrieve its definition using the User Extension Definition endpoint. Once the definition is established in CMiC, you can create, retrieve, or update the field’s value as needed
Finders must be used to properly query GET requests.

UEV Codes
UEV Code represents a user-defined field (UDF) configured to store string values. All UevCode fields correspond to custom fields for the table specified in the ‘UevUedTableName’ field. Their definitions can be retrieved using the User Extension Definition endpoint. For more details on creating, updating, or reviewing values, see the Creating a User Extension Field Value guide.
| CMiC UI Fieldname | Name | Description | Type | Data Length | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uev Code 1 | UevCode1 | User-defined field. Refer to the User Extension Definition endpoint for detail. For example, UevCode1 associated with the PYEMPLOYEE_TABLE might be defined in the User Extension Definition as the attribute "Driver License." In this case, you would store the driver's license information in that field (e.g. AW-1425-77888). Alternatively, UevCode1 could represent a different user-defined value depending on its configuration.. | string | 4000 | AW-1425-77888 |

UEV Dates
Similar to UEV Codes, UEV Dates represents a user-defined field (UDF) configured to store datetime values. All UevDate fields correspond to custom fields for the table specified in the ‘UevUedTableName’ field. Their definitions can be retrieved using the User Extension Definition endpoint. For more details on creating, updating, or reviewing values, see the Creating a User Extension Field Value guide.
| CMiC UI Fieldname | Name | Description | Type | Data Length | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UEV Date 1 | UevDate1 | User-defined field. Refer to the User Extension Definition endpoint for detail. For example, if UevDate1 in the PYEMPLOYEE_TABLE is defined in the User Extension Definition as the attribute "Date of Birth," you would store the employee's date of birth as a Date value (e.g., 1994-07-31) in that field. | Date | 1994-07-31 | |
| UEV Date 2 | UevDate2 | User-defined field. Refer to the User Extension Definition endpoint for detail. For example, if UevDate2 in the PYEMPLOYEE_TABLE is defined in the User Extension Definition as the attribute "Date of Birth," you would store the employee's date of birth as a Date value (e.g., 1994-07-31) in that field. | Date | 1994-07-31 | |
| UEV Date 3 | UevDate3 | User-defined field. Refer to the User Extension Definition endpoint for detail. For example, if UevDate3 in the PYEMPLOYEE_TABLE is defined in the User Extension Definition as the attribute "Date of Birth," you would store the employee's date of birth as a Date value (e.g., 1994-07-31) in that field. | Date | 1994-07-31 | |
| … | … | … (Additional UEV Dates follow the same structure) | Date | ||
| UEV Date 20 | UevDate20 | User-defined field. Refer to the User Extension Definition endpoint for detail. For example, if UevDate20 in the PYEMPLOYEE_TABLE is defined in the User Extension Definition as the attribute "Date of Birth," you would store the employee's date of birth as a Date value (e.g., 1994-07-31) in that field. | Date | 1994-07-31 |
