A '''Caption''' is the text used to identify a field.

If the caption is not set, then the field name will be used as the caption.<!--:[[Image:NormSettingCaptionSetting.png|link=]]::will display as:[[Image:NormDisplayCaptionDisplay.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.

==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@.
