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.
