Field Options


  • Field type: The list of available Field Types
  • Field Name: The name of the field, used internally to reference the user's input.
  • Caption: The leading question or prologue before the field. If left blank, the Field Name will be displayed as the caption.
  • Display Order: The order (relative to other fields) in which this field is displayed.
  • Description: Definition and general description of the custom field. Will not be displayed.
  • Caption Location: Determines the positioning and visibility of the caption relative to the field. Options include: Left of Field, Above Field, No Caption, Hide Caption. Note: this option was previously called Label Display. (See examples here.)
  • Instructions: Text input here displays under the caption. If caption has Hide Caption enabled then any defined instructions will continue to be displayed above the input.
  • Placeholder: Text input here displays within the text box as placeholder text that will disappear once the user clicks into the field to enter content. Note: this function is different from Default Text, as Placeholder text will not create content to be stored within the field.
  • Button label: Specify a text and or an icon for the file upload button. Will have an adjacent Select Icon button to allow icons to be included on the button.
  • Tool Tip: When the user hovers their mouse pointer over the caption of a field, the text in this section will appear.
  • Classify as Personal Data: Flag this field for use in storing personal data. When enabled, the field will present the data use policy without a tooltip.
  • SmartField View - Include or exclude this field from SmartField Views (@SmartFields@) or only display this field for SmartField Views. See SmartField View for further details.
  • SmartFields PDF Formatting: PDF formatting option when rendered from SmartFields Views.
  • Width: Width of text box.
  • Default Text: The default text that will be displayed in the text box.
