View Field Database Information

Sites can turn on the Field DB Information feature by enabling the ENABLE_FIELD_DB_HELP parameter on the ERP Application Parameters (ERPCTRL) page. Users can then choose to enable/disable the Field DB Information feature via the Enable Field DB Help check box on the Account Settings > Preferences tab.
