dList has a settings tab\/page ( Directory Listings \u2192 Directory Settings \u2192 Form Fields<\/strong>) for customizing all fields of the add listing page.<\/p>\n

Making a field required<\/h4>\n

Go to Directory Listings \u2192 Directory Settings \u2192 Form Fields<\/strong>\u00a0page. You will see all of the default form field names with some options to customize them. Set the \u2018Required<\/strong>\u2018 option of any field to\u00a0YES<\/strong>\u00a0to make it required for any user to fill before submitting a listing. For example, we have set the\u00a0Title form field<\/strong>\u00a0as required in the following screenshot. You can make any form fields as required like this.<\/p>\n

Changing the label of a field<\/h4>\n

Changing the label of any form fields is very easy. Just change the value in the label field of a form field in the Form Fields settings page. See the screenshot below to see how you can change the label of the Title field as an example.<\/p>\n

Hiding a form field<\/h4>\n

You can hide a form field by setting the \u201cOnly for Admin Use<\/strong>\u201d option to \u201cYes<\/strong>\u201c. Only admin will see this field in the back-end add listing form but this field will be hidden\/excluded from the front-end add-listing\u00a0form for all users.<\/p>\n

  4. Display<\/strong>: This option is available for optional fields. You can control whether to display those fields in the add-listing form or not using this control. Set it to YES to display the field and set it to NO to completely exclude this field from the form.<\/li>\n
