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.
If you are using a [[Custom Field Type: Title Bar – Multiple Columns|Title Bar – Multiple Columns]] Custom Field to define the number of columns, but don't want the actual Title Bar to appear, choose "Empty Title Bar" from the Label Display option.
Note that the ''Caption'' setting is resizable, so when entering larger captions for a field, the entire caption can be seen.
==Disambiguation - Status and Template Captions==
[[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 name of the Template/Type or Status is returned by the variable @type@ or @status@, the caption can be returned using the [[Variable List|variable]] @typecaption@ or @statuscaption@.
