A '''Caption''' is the text used to identify a field.
For [[Custom Field|Custom Fields]] the '''Caption''' setting is used if you want to have a label for the field that is different than the field name. If the caption is not set, then the field name will be used as the caption.<!--: [[Image:CaptionSetting.png|link=]]:: will display as: [[Image:CaptionDisplay.png|link=]]--><!--In the case of most [[Standard Field]]s (other than those within a [[UTA]]) the caption can only be changed on [[External]] Pages. -->If you want the '''Caption''' to appear above the field instead of to the left of a custom field, select the "Label Above Field" option in the custom field settings.
In * '''Caption Location:''' Determines the case location of a [[Built-in Field]] the field <strong class="selflink">caption can only be changed on </strong>. Options include: Left of Field, Above Field, No Caption, Hide Caption. '''Note:''' this option was previously called '''Label Display'''. ([[ExternalLabel Display Options|See examples here.]] Pages. )
If you are using a [[Custom Field Type: Layout - Title Bar|Layout - Title Bar]] Custom Field to define the number of columns, but don't want the actual Title Bar to appear, choose "Empty Title Bar" from the Caption Location option.
Note that the ''Caption'' setting is resizable, so when entering larger captions for a field, the entire caption can be seen. == See also Disambiguation - Status and Template Captions==[[How do I display Templates]], [[Types]] and [[Statuses]] can be given captions as well. These captions will be used instead of the Template/Type/Status name when displayed to the end user. Where the field beneath name of the field%27s labelTemplate/Type or Status is returned by the variable @type@ or @status@, the caption%3Fcan be returned using the [[Variable List|variable]] @typecaption@ or @statuscaption@. ==See Also==* [[Label Display Options]]
