## Edit Create Layout

* Toggle on/off fields that you want your users to have access to when they create a new record
* Reorder the fields by clicking and dragging them.
* Change the name by clicking the title of the form while in **Edit Layout.**
* Open up the settings for a specific field by hovering your mouse over it in the menu and clicking the pencil icon.
  * This will allow you to edit/hide the label
  * Add a description or make it a required field (users cannot submit the form unless a value is provided for that field).
  * Set a default value to prefill fields
  * Add placeholder texts
  * Allow quick copy which will put a little icon next to the field allowing a user to hover over text and copy this to a clipboard.
