Change a Caption of a Field

 

For instance, you want to change 'Job requirements' to 'Requirements', and 'Salary' to 'Type of Salary' on the 'Add Listing' page (Pic.1.).

 

       The 'Job requirements' field is a specific field for the 'Job' listing type.

 

       To find Job specific fields:

 

       • Go to Admin Panel -> Listing Configuration -> Listing Types -> Job

 

       To edit a field caption:

 

       • Click on the Edit button against the field name

 

       • Change the caption

 

The field caption will be automatically changed in the template (see Pic.2).

 

Notice: If you change IDs of the existing fields, you also will have to change them in the templates where these IDs are used.

       To add a new field, e.g., 'Age' field (string type):

 

               • Go to Admin Panel -> Listing Configuration -> Listing Types -> Job

 

               • Add new field to this type ('ID' ='Age', 'Caption'='Age', 'Type'='String')

 

The field will be automatically changed in the search form display.
