Fields sometimes need to be edited — to update a field or its values, or to correct a mistake. This article shows administrators how to edit a field: modify existing field information, add or remove values, and update general details such as the title or ILAP ID. This is useful when field definitions change over time, or new data is needed in your report schedules. For more information about fields, read this article: Fields
