# Set up master data entity display fields

For a master data entity, you can define display fields. These display fields are the fields that are shown on the Available records page.

3. Click **Edit**.
4. Expand the **Display fields** section.
5. Sub-task: Set up table relations for the master data entity.
  1. You can set up table relations for a master data entity. As a result, you can add fields from related tables as display fields.

You can use this to:

Click **Table relations**.
