Yes I do.

Any field that starts with u_ is a custom field.

So for a given table say Incident- you can right click - Configure Dictionary and see the list.

 

Thanks Mark - My question wasn't about which table the field sits on but if it's actually being used anywhere.  Is there a way to see a list of custom fields and see if it's on a record producer or a form?  We created a lot of custom fields when we implemented HRSD but we are no longer using a lot of them.  I want to deactivate them but need to know for sure if they are in use first.
