### Phone/Mobile 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**Phone/Mobile**field.

**All the Settings under the Phone/Mobile Field mentioned above are briefly explained below – **

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

**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. Default Value:** Using our shortcodes, you can manually set any fixed value in your field and pre-fill your input field dynamically. Read this [article](https://fluentforms.com/docs/dynamic-default-value-in-fluent-forms/) to better understand Dynamic Default values.

You can click the **Three-Dot** option from the right to add a default value with **Shortcode**. 

**F. Required:** Decide whether users must select at least one option before submission.

**G. Validate Phone Number:** The option allows you to validate a phone number using the country code.

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

**Global Error Message:**This message will be shown if validation fails for a valid phone Number.

**Enable Auto Country Select:** If the user enables this, the country will be selected based on the user’s IP address. ipinfo.io service will be used here.

**Default Country:** Set a default country to be selected unless modified. If a default country is set, it will overrule the placeholder set in General Settings and show the default selection as a placeholder.

**Country List:**The admin has four options in the country list. Only one option can be selected.

- **Show all:**Choosing this will show users all the countries on the list.
- **Hide these:** This will let admins hide certain countries from the list and show others.
- **Only show these:**This option enables admins to show the handpicked countries.
- **Priority Based:**This option allows users to choose the country they want to prioritize. This country will rank first in the search results. There are two additional options. The **Primary Countries Label** and the **Other Countries Label** are the two options. Users can choose their Primary and Country labels on the priority list.

**A. Name Attribute:** The input field’s name attribute is the HTML equivalent of the same name. You don’t need to modify this.

**B. Help Message:**This option allows you to guide your user thoroughly. Add your text here, which will be shown as a help message to the user.

**C. Container Class:** Use this option to add your custom CSS classes to the field's wrapper.
