To add a generated field to a frame, you use the same basic steps presented in Creating and Using Basic Fields (see Creating and Using Basic Fields). This section also describes how to set the properties for a field using the Property Inspector. For common field property descriptions, see Common Field Properties (see Common Field Properties).

The following sections describe how these fields are created using the OpenROAD predefined field templates and assistants. In some cases, techniques that developers can use to customize the generated field are discussed, in addition to how a user can use the field.
