Configure a field setting to automatically index domain field value updates for records from a referenced table.

## Before you begin

Role required: ais_admin

## About this task

This topic provides steps for configuring a dot_walk_fields field setting to enable automatic indexing of domain field values for records in referenced tables. For more general instructions on defining field
settings, see [Create a field setting for an AI Search indexed source](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XVYUOPf5kHnLYta4jbie~A#create-field-setting-ais "Define an indexed source field setting to configure AI Search content indexing behavior for a specific field on source table records.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI SearchAI Search IndexIndexed Sources.
2. Open the indexed source that you want to define a field setting for.
3. In the Field Settings \& Mapping related list, select New.
4. On the Field Setting form, enter the following field values.  
   {#enable-ref-auto-domain-update-ais__table_ulx_dfb_gnb__entry__2}

   | Field | Value |
   |-|-|
   | Attribute | dot_walk_fields |
   | Field | \<reference field\> |
   | Value | sys_domain,sys_domain_path |
   [ ]

   {#enable-ref-auto-domain-update-ais__table_ulx_dfb_gnb}

   For a description of the field values, see [Field Setting form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uYHFB4EKH9svmdk47neGOw "The Field Setting form contains information about field-specific settings defined for your AI Search indexed sources. Use this form when creating or modifying a field setting for an indexed source.").
5. Select Submit.
{#enable-ref-auto-domain-update-ais__steps_l4v_wfb_gnb}

## Result

The new dot_walk_fields field setting appears in the Field Settings \& Mapping related list.

## What to do next

To make the new dot_walk_fields attribute take effect, perform a full table reindex for the indexed source. For details on this procedure, see [Perform a full table index or reindex for a single AI Search indexed source](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ylmJp1OFiNmWvOFFxmjvuw "Make content from an internal indexed source searchable by performing a full table index. This procedure indexes existing records from the source table and any child tables configured for indexing. You can manually reindex content from an internal indexed source by repeating this procedure.").
