P.S. Here, <desired_module> means the module name you see in the url, for example, Contacts, Leads, UT_Blogs, etc.
You may find the field names and its labels in Admin > Studio > <Your_module> > Fields > <Choose correct field> > Take Field Name and System Label.
Here is a special mention about custom module: if you have a custom module, we prefer to create/change the file under modules/<my_custom_module>/views
