Fact2field functionality allows users to select the Breeze facts that Cloudaware should convert to fields on objects. Cloudaware will propagate fields that contain the caFact_ prefix with a matching Breeze fact. For example, if you create a caFact_uptimehours field, Cloudaware will search for the uptime_hours fact and use its value.
