How to identify Descriptive Flexfield on window

Platform: 11.5, R12

Go to the window in question.

Click on any field in the block where the DFF is found.

Then go to the menu and navigate s follow:

Help --> Diagnostics --> Examine

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="370" caption="Examine"][/caption]

You are prompted for a password to enable diagnostics

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="430" caption="Enable diagnostics"][/caption]

Key in the database password and click on ‘OK’.

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="361" caption="Examine Field and Variable Values"][/caption]

Take note of the block.

Click on ‘Block’ and choose $DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXFIELD$

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="295" caption="Choose a block"][/caption]

Click on Field and choose the appropriate field (based on the block)

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="361" caption="DFF Value"][/caption]

In the ‘Value’ Field you will get the Descriptive Flexfield that you have to configure and the application that the DFF is registered in.

In the above example we have to define the 'Location Address' Descriptive Flexfield in the 'Human Resources' Application.
