### Find the View Alias column and add alias names for the attributes

For the JSON Tutorial, add the following view alias to the `Y|Cre|Shipment.last_update` attribute:

```
shipment_last_update
```

Additionally, add the following view alias to the `Y|Cre|Shipment.shipment_status`attribute:

```
shipment_last_status
```

### Save the Attributes

### Scroll to the Arrays section

### Enter dynamic table alias names for the desired array attributes

For the JSON tutorial, find the operation\_logs attribute and use this dynamic table alias name:

```
process_logs
```

Additionally, find the process\_steps attribute and use this dynamic table alias name:

```
process_steps
```
