Federated processes lists: Common process attributes
In most cases, the names used for an attribute differ in saved searches and query tables. To ensure that query results can be federated, common process attributes provide a mapping of the saved search name to the query table name.
When you create a query table for a federated environment, use the common attribute name for a property instead of the column name of the predefined database view. The following table shows how the common attributes map to the corresponding saved search names and query table names.
