### Email Field Options

You will find various settings options for customizing the field. Located in the **Input Customization Tab**, these options allow you to configure essential aspects of the**Email Address** field.

**All the Settings under the Email Address Field mentioned above are briefly explained below – **

**A. Element Label:**This is the field title the users will see when filling out the **Email**field in a form. You can enter any text here to help users understand the purpose of the field.

**B. Label Placement:**This option allows you to determine the position of the label title where the user will see it. The available options are **Top**, **Left**, **Right**, and **Default**. All of those are self-explanatory except the Default. If you select the **Default** option, it will represent your global label placement settings.

**C. Admin Field Label:**The admin field label is a field title displayed only to admin users. You can configure this option to show a different field label for your admin users when they view the form submissions.   

**D. Placeholder:**When the input field is empty, a message is usually shown to the users so they can understand what the field expects from them. This is the equivalent of the HTML input placeholder attribute. 

**E. Required:**Choose the appropriate option from here to determine whether the field should be empty when the user submits your form.

**F. Validate Email:**You can select **Yes**to notify a user that he needs to add a Valid Email; otherwise, an Error message will show. Or you can choose **No**.
