## Introduction

With **Data Manager** you can edit the fields displayed in your process app. This enables you to customize the dashboards by adapting them to the terminology used in your organization.

## Editing fields

Follow these steps to edit a field.

1. Select the field you want to edit. The **Edit field** dialog is displayed.
2. Edit the **Field name** as desired.
3. Select **Save**.

### Changing the field Type

There might be instances where the field **Type** does not align with the data type of the source field in your dataset. For example, you may upload data of an *integer* **Type** to a field that was previously uploaded with *text* **Type** data. Such instances will be indicated in the **Fields** list in the **Data manager**.

   ![Field type does not align with the data type in the source](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/process-mining/process-mining-field-does-not-align-with-the-data-in-the-source-366724-3ccb4682-3bdcba84.webp)

For these fields, you can change the **Type** of the field.

:::note
You can only select a new **Type** based on the data type of the source field that is uploaded. For example, if the field in the dataset is of type *integer*, you can change the field **Type** to *number***,** and if the field in the dataset is of **Type** *text*, you can change the field **Type** to *nominal* or *ordinal*.
:::
:::note
You can only change the **Type** of a field that is not used in dashboards. In case the field is actually used in dashboards:
1. Remove the field from the chart or charts.
2. Edit the **Type** of the field.
3. Add the field back on the chart or charts.

### Currency format

For currency fields you can also change the currency format. The following illustration shows an example.

This is a display setting, it does not convert the field value.

## Edit field dialog

The following table describes the elements of the **Edit field** dialog.

| Element | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Field name | The display name of the field. |
| Source field | The name of the column in the data source. |
| Type | The kind of data that the field holds. |
| Currency* | A drop down combo box containing all available currency formats. |

* **Currency** is only available for monetary fields.

## Hiding and showing fields

With **Data Manager** you can hide fields that are available in your dataset but not used in your process app. A field that is set to hidden in **Data Manager**, will not be visible in selectors when editing dashboards using the dashboard editor. This is useful when you do not want to use these fields in a visualization, but do want to use them to compute metrics.

:::note
You can not hide a field that is used on a dashboard.

Follow these steps to hide a field.

1. Locate the field you want to hide.
