Assigning BMS field names
When you use the Assign BMS Field Names function, the BMS Assign Field Names wizard adds BMS information from a BMS map to an existing screen message that was originally created by capturing in the host editor the same application screen that is described in the BMS map.
The resulting screen message is functionally equivalent to a screen message created directly from the BMS map (see Assigning BMS field names), except that the descriptors in the screen description might be different.
Importing a HATS screen

You can set a Service Flow Projects preference that causes the host editor to automatically create a screen message for an application screen during flow recording or screen operations recording if the host editor does not recognize the application screen (see Setting overall preferences for service flow projects and Providing screen descriptions for recording).
