Fields

Fields are objects of data in their simplest form. Data fields such as text fields, radio buttons, start dates, titles, and word processors (just to name a few), are utilized within forms, which are made up by a collection of fields. Fields can be created once and used across forms and multiple sites.

2. Under "Modules," select "Fields"
3. Once in the Fields interface, click "Create new field"

5. Enter an error message to display, such as "this field is required," should you make the field a required element in a form.

7. Apply a security policy, if desired, and add any tags to associate with the field.
