Use the Application Field Marker tool

The Application Field Marker tool obtains the information you need to configure the Application Properties section of the New Desktop Item page when the new desktop item is a Windows application and field.

NOTE   The Application Field Marker tool does not work on website fields. For that you must have your browser correctly configured and use the Ctrl+M shortcut keys. See Identify website fields to be tracked by Analytics for more information.
