To access the field extraction rules page, in the main Sumo Logic menu select **Data Management**, and then under **Logs** select **Field Extraction Rules**. You can also click the **Go To...** menu at the top of the screen and select **Field Extraction Rules**. <br/>[**Classic UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui-classic). In the main Sumo Logic menu, select **Manage Data > Logs > Field Extraction Rules**.
