Sometimes, two different tables may have fields of the same name that are both
important (such as two tables with a sys_updated_on field). For clarity, relabel one of the
fields.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin.

## About this task

To create clear reports, relabel the fields on the Database View \[sys_db_view\] table without changing the names of the fields.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionLanguage File.
2. Select New.
3. Fill in the form as follows:  
   {#t_RelabelAColumn__table_n1h_hj2_vq__entry__2}

   | Name | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Table | Name of the database view |
   | Label | Display label |
   | Plural | Plural form of the display label |
   | Element | Name of the field on the database view in the format variable prefix_fieldname. For example, you may enter inc_name to indicate the Name field on the Incident table. Variable prefix is a required field when you define the tables in a database view. |
   [Table 1. New language file fields]

   {#t_RelabelAColumn__table_n1h_hj2_vq}
