        \n\n\n\n

        Field Panel (Left Side<\/strong> )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The left side of the Add Listing Form contains all the preset fields<\/strong> and your custom fields<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Preset Fields:<\/strong> Preset fields are the basic predefined fields that are available by default and can be used only once<\/strong> per form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Custom Fields:<\/strong> The custom fields (like Text, Number, Select, Checkbox, etc.) can be used multiple times and are ideal for extended or niche data collection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Field Settings<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          To configure an individual field, you need to click on the arrow down (\u02c5) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Clicking on the arrow down \u02c5 will reveal all the relevant field settings, likewise the screenshot below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          You can define the field label, placeholder text, and adjust additional configurations within the individual field settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Form Canvas (Right Side)<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • This is where you design the actual structure of the form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • You can create multiple sections<\/strong> to logically group different sets of fields.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Example Sections:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Contact Info<\/strong>: Include fields like Email, Phone Number, and Website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Location<\/strong>: Group fields like Address, Map, City, and Country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Media<\/strong>: Add fields such as Images, Gallery, Video, or File Upload.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Each section acts as a visual block or tab, making the form more organized and easier for users to fill out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n\n\n\n

              Additional options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Enable Listing Preview:<\/strong>
                Toggle this to allow users to preview their listing before submission.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Listing Form Submit Button Text:<\/strong>
                Customize the text of the submission button (e.g., Submit Listing<\/em>, Publish Now<\/em>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Preview:<\/strong>
                Click the Preview<\/strong> button to see how your form will look to end users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                Tip:<\/strong>
                Changes are saved per directory type, so each directory can have a unique Add Listing form layout tailored to its needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
