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.
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.
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.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?
