Use this dialog to configure options for the [Extract Constant](extract-constant.html) refactoring.

| Item | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Constant of type |  IntelliJ IDEA automatically determines the field type.  |
| Name | Specify here the name for the new constant. |
| Introduce to class | Select the class in which the constant will be introduced. |
| Introduce as enum constant | If you've selected an enum class in the Introduce to class field, you can use this option to select, whether you want to introduce this constant as an enum constant, or as a usual field. Otherwise, this option is naturally disabled and does not affect anything.  |
| Visibility | Select the visibility scope for the new field. |
| Replace all occurrences | Check this option to automatically replace all the occurrences of the selected expression (if the selected expression is found more than once in the class).  |
| Delete variable declaration | Check this option to delete variable declaration. |
| Annotate field as @NonNls |    Check this option to avoid changes during localization.      > **Tip:** > * This field is only available if the project is configured to use annotations, that is, the library `annotation.jar` is added to the project or module. If annotations are not available, this option does not appear in the dialog. > > * The project language level should be 5.0 to support annotations.    |
