# Configure Field Standardization

IDOL Connectors have several configuration parameters that control field standardization. All of these are set in the `[Connector]` section of the configuration file:

- `EnableFieldNameStandardization` specifies whether to run field standardization.
- `FieldNameDictionaryPath` specifies the path of the dictionary file to use.
- `FieldNameDictionaryNode` specifies the rules to use. The default value for this parameter matches the name of the connector, and Micro Focus recommends that you do not change it. This prevents one connector running field standardization rules that are intended for another.

To configure field standardization, use the following procedure.

NOTE:

You can also configure CFS to run field standardization. To standardize all field names, you must run field standardization from both the connector and CFS.

To enable field standardization

1. Stop the connector.
2. Open the connector’s configuration file.

3. In the `[Connector]` section, set the following parameters:

   `EnableFieldNameStandardization` | A Boolean value that specifies whether to enable field standardization. Set this parameter to `true`.
   `FieldNameDictionaryPath` | The path to the dictionary file that contains the rules to use to standardize documents. A standard dictionary is included with the connector and is named `dictionary.xml`.

   For example:

       [Connector]
       EnableFieldNameStandardization=true
       FieldNameDictionaryPath=dictionary.xml

4. Save the configuration file and restart the connector.
