Here, you can control the settings how form is displayed on the front-end to allow users to submit and edit records.

1. Form View Tab

Show Fields: Select core fields to display in the form.

Title: For any record, title field is required. It is also used for generating alias. However, you can use any other field to be used as title. For example, in the contact form you can use subject as title.

Title Field Value: If the title field is not displayed, enter the column name which will be used as title field. You can refer the "Columns" tab for names of the columns.

Title Field Label: If the title field is displayed, enter the label for the title field.
