Modifying Existing Application Entity Fields Attributes

Some field attributes, when modified, do not require any additional setup in APM. You simply modify the field's attributes and continue to use the PPM-provided modules and portlets.

Existing field attributes, when modified, that do not require additional setup include:

• Field Prompt. The name of the field.

• Display. Determines if the field is visible on the application entity page.

• Validation Values. A specific list of acceptable input values for the field.

To update the Field Prompt or Display, modify the APM - Application request type or request header type. The section in the application entity in which the field appears determines if you need to modify the request type or request header type. Use Table 2-1. Location of editable fields to determine if you need to modify the request type or request header type.
