Name	Description
`Label Name`	The external name of the field. This is displayed as the field name on the form or page.
`Default Value`	Sets the field's default value. This automatically populates the field with the value you specify when the page loads.
`Required Field`	When selected, makes the field mandatory, so the user can't submit a record without entering a value. A red asterisk (*) is displayed beside the field to indicate that it's required. You can't change the Required Field setting for any fields that are required by the object the form is connected to.
`Hidden Field`	When selected, hides the field from the form or page. For example, you may want to hide a required field from your site visitors, or set the default value for a field that you don't want users to see or edit. When you hide a field on the page canvas, you can still access it from the Page Structure pane.
`Date/Time Selector`	Applies to the Date/Time field only. Sets whether users can select the date and time using a popup calendar.
`Picklist Values`	Applies to Picklist and Multi-select Picklist fields only, and only when added directly to the page. Sets the list of items to display in the picklist. (You can't modify the picklist items if the field is connected to an object.) Each picklist item consists of a Label and a Value field. The Label field is displayed in the picklist, whereas the Value field is an internal value. In most situations, you can use the same value in both fields, unless you want to submit a different value than the one displayed to the user. Click to enter values for the Label and Value fields.
`Rows`	Applies to Rich Text Area and Text Area fields only. Sets the number of rows of text to display.
