Excluding Existing Application Entity Fields

There are three ways to exclude an existing application entity field:

• Hide the existing field. You can prevent the existing field from being displayed in the application entity. However, the field still exists and can be used in APM. This is the simplest way to remove an existing field because you only need to set the Display option for the field. See Modifying Existing Application Entity Fields Attributes for more information.

• Disable the existing field. You can disable the existing field such that it cannot be used in APM. Set the Enabled option for the field. You must generate a new data source for the application entity and configure new portlet definitions to use the new data source. See Generating a Data Source and Creating Portlet Definitions for more information.

• Remove the existing field. You can remove the existing field from the application entity by selecting the field in the request type or request header type and clicking Remove. You must generate a new data source for the application entity and configure new portlet definitions to use the new data source. See Generating a Data Source and Creating Portlet Definitions for more information.
