### Website URL 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**Website URL**field.

**All the Settings under the Website URL Field mentioned above are briefly explained below – **

**A. Element Label:**This is the field title the users will see when filling out the **Website URL**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. This means that 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 URL:** You can select **Yes** to notify a user that he needs to add a **Valid URL**; otherwise, an **Error** message will show. Or you can choose **No**.

**F. Suffix Label:** Add a text or symbol suffix that appears at the end of the input area.

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