Hi,
Surely there is documentation on the Servicenow website that provides a field-by-field description of each cmn_location field? (some of them are self-explanatory, but others are not).
I've been searching but am unable to locate. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Well I'll chime in because I was looking for the same thing and couldn't find it.
Consumer - reference to csm_consumer table, used for CSM, visible in Case view
Primary Location - controlled by UI policy and only visible when duplicate is checked
Primary - controlled by UI policies and only visible when Consumer is populated
Full Name - system generated field, built from location hierarchy

Any update on this? Description of the fields that are OOB from ServiceNow ensure the fields are not misused. In this case I'm looking for specifically for Locations but I do have the need for other tables too. Again - helps so it is clear on what the purpose of a field is for so it doesn't get repurposed or filled in incorrectly and cause issues in other configurations.
