Property	Description
Label	Enter the text of the label to be displayed next to the form field. By default, the label is shown above the form field.
Technical name	Each form element that is added to a form is automatically assigned a unique name – known as the ‘technical name’ – by Formcentric. This name is based on the designator for the form element. Alternatively, you can generate the technical name from the label. To do this, click New from label. Find out more about the technical name.
Note	Here you have the option of adding some text to your form field that gives users additional information, such as instructions about filling out the field. By default, this text is shown underneath the form field.
Default value	Enter a piece of text to be shown in the form field when users access the form. Alternatively, you can enter a variable here that adds a value automatically to the form field. Find out more about variables.
Placeholder	Enter a piece of placeholder text here. This text is shown greyed-out in the form field. This placeholder text disappears as soon as users start typing into the form field.
Field width	Specify the width of the form element.
Display variant	You can use this to add a CSS class from the website that you will be embedding the form into. The CSS class chosen here will be applied to the form element. Alternatively, you can select one or more display variants to apply to the form element.
Read-only	If you check Read-only, users will not be able to change the text in the form field. Use this setting if you want to enter predefined variables into this form field.
Required field	Check Required field if this form field must be filled out when completing the form. An ‘*’ will then be added to the end of the label, marking this form field as a required field. Accordingly, users will be unable to submit the form or move to the next page (if this is a multi-page form) if they have not completed this form field properly.
Error message	If you check the Required field box, an input field appears. In this field, enter the text shown to users if they try to skip filling out this form field.
Autofill	The Autofill option is active by default. This involves form data stored by the browser being suggested as autocomplete options for the form field. To improve the quality of these suggestions, you can tell the browser about the information that is expected for this form field. Shipping or invoice address Select Shipping or Invoice if this form field is part of a shipping address or an invoice address. Contact type Select an appropriate contact type here if users are expected to input a fixed-line or mobile phone number, fax or pager number, or an email address into this form field. Specifying a contact type will affect the selection offered to you for ‘Usage’ (see below). This field is optional and can be left empty. Usage Specify the kinds of information entered into this form field. Deactivate autofill Select Deactivate autofill to prevent the field from using autofill. This will also stop web browsers from saving the form field data. To do so, move the slider to the left, which deactivates autofill for this form field.
Validation	You can adjust the following settings if required: Error message In this field, enter the text shown to users if they do not enter a valid email address.
