For details on how the record moves between states, see [TRM technical debt states and transitions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/gagEVaUCPyGscjporpJodA "A TRM technical debt record persists across scheduled job runs and moves between Active, Resolved, and Archived states instead of being deleted and re-created."). |
| TRM product | Software product that has version-specific life cycles. |
| TRM phase | Phase of the TRM product. The following TRM phases are available: * Approved: The technology is approved for use. * Approved with Constraints: The technology can be used within the constraints specified in the comments. * Divest: A decision was taken to divest from the use of the technology. * Evaluation: This technology is being evaluated and can't be used for production purposes. * Unapproved: The technology is not permitted to be used. {#eaw-trm-technical-debt-form__eaw-create-trm-phase_define-trm-phases_ul_ghz_pcg_d5b} Note: You can modify these phases by navigating to EA WorkspaceSetupTRM Phases. |
| Software product | Software product related to the TRM product. |
| Version | Version of the software product. The software product model name usually contains this version. |
| Edition | Edition of the software product. Populated only when the technical debt is created from a TRM product lifecycle that matches on version and edition. |
| Software product model | Software product model related to the TRM product. |
| Operating system | Operating system on which the TRM product can be deployed. This field appears only when Software is selected in the Type field. |
| Last run | Timestamp when the Populate TRM technical debts in the EA Workspace scheduled job last ran to update the table with technical debt. |

The Discovered Technology related list shows the TLM discovered technology records that this technical debt was created from.

Use this related list as your starting point to investigate and remediate the technical debt. Open a discovered technology record from the list. Use its Number field to open the full TPM Discovered Technology
record, or its TLM technology lifecycle field to open the associated technology lifecycle record. From there, you can identify and update the underlying TRM product or TRM product lifecycle that's causing the debt.
