View Field Information

You can view the information about any field, including extended fields, to see database-related field attributes. For any field, you can view the object label, database table name, database field name, attribute name, data type, description, and size. Use this information in the following ways:

• You want to view CA APM data outside of the product using an external reporting solution and must understand database-level information. For example, you want to know the database table name, field name, attribute name, data type, description, or field size for a particular default field or user-defined extended field.
• You have changed a field label or moved a field to a new location on the page. Use the field information to understand how the field is represented in the database. This field information can be helpful when you work with Technical Support to understand any specific configuration changes you have made to the product.

2. On the left, click CONFIGURE: ON.
