When asking Kolleno support to get additional fields pulled from Business Central, you need the exact field name (as defined in the table schema) to reference in your requests (it can be different than the name you see in the user interface).

You can easily discover field names at runtime using the built‑in “Inspect pages and data” tool.

Prerequisites

  • You must have Read (or higher) permissions on the page you’re inspecting.

  • Your environment must be Business Central version 16+ (the “Inspect” feature was introduced in 16.0).

Step 1: Open the Page Containing Your Field

  1. Sign in to Business Central.

  2. Navigate to the page (e.g. Customer Card) that contains the field you need.

Step 2: Launch the Inspect Tool

  1. Click the Help & Support icon (?) in the top‑right corner.

  2. In the pane that opens, scroll to Troubleshooting.

  3. Click Inspect pages and data.


    ​

Step 3: Identify Your Field

  1. Once “Inspect” is active, you can search among 'Table Fields'

  2. You will them take the field name such as "Country/Region Code" in this example:

    Important: keep the upper/lower cases, spaces, special characters.
    ​

Step 4: Send to Kolleno support

Send the information to Kolleno support, including:

  • Link to your Kolleno environment (such as the URL of the dashboard).

  • Type of record this field is from (Customer/Invoice).

  • Whether it is a native (default) Business Central field or a custom one created for your company only.
