11.6 Field names, labels and descriptions

In addition to its name, each field of a source can also be furnished with extra information such as a label and a description. This information is displayed when you mouse over fields. It can be very useful to recognize what each field means on your model since labels and descriptions are inherited when you create other resources.

When you mouse over each field in a source view, you will see a pencil. Clicking on it, opens a dialog box such as the one displayed on Figure 11.4 that will allow you to update the name, label, and description of that field.
