FAQs: Field Label Width - Appearance
This page covers optimizing form design through managing label widths, including customizations, responsiveness, and best practices for Zoho Creator users.
What are field labels and where do they appear in Zoho Creator?
The field name of a field is the text that appears next to its input area in a form. This lets your users know what information they are about to enter in a field.
What is the purpose of managing the field label width in a form?
Managing the field label width helps you control the amount of space that field names or labels occupy when users access your form from a web browser.
Does the label width setting apply to all devices?
No, the label width setting only applies when users access the form from a web browser. It does not impact the appearance of the form when accessed from a phone or tablet.
Can I set different label widths for individual fields on my form?
Label width is applied at the form level, and you cannot define separate label widths for individual fields. For more information, visit our Field Label Width help doc.
How can I define the field label width for my form?
You have two options for defining the field label width:
- Auto: Zoho Creator automatically determines the label width based on the field with the longest label (default behavior).
- Custom: You can set a specific width in pixels for the field labels.
When does Zoho Creator determine the label width automatically?
When a user accesses your form, Zoho Creator calculates the label width based on the field that has the longest label on your form.
Are there any limits to how narrow or wide I can set the label width?
There are no specific lower or upper limits mentioned for label width. You can set it based on your design preferences and layout considerations.
Is there a minimum width for form fields themselves?
Yes, there are minimum width limits for various types of form fields. These limits ensure that your form remains user-friendly and content is appropriately displayed.
Learn more about the minimum width for form fields.
How can I manage the field label width in my form?
To manage the field label width in your form:
- Open the form builder.
- Click the Properties icon in the top-right corner to open the Form Properties pane.
- Navigate to Appearance> Label width.
- Choose the desired value from the dropdown below Label width (Auto or Custom).
Can I change the label width after the form is already published?
Yes, you can adjust the label width settings even after the form is published, allowing you to fine-tune the appearance of your form based on user feedback or design changes.
Once the change is live, the label width is adjusted in the published form.
