# Select fields

You can add a selection of table fields to a record. You can select fields from the D365 F&SCM table that is defined in the **Record** **table** field.

This is mainly applicable to internal documents. However, you can also use this to quickly set up fields for external file-based documents.

When the field selection is added to the record, review and complete the properties of the added fields.

6. Click **Select fields**.
7. Sub-task: Define filter.
