List of fields

The list of fields field is used to choose a number of fields to be added, together with associated labels.

Having added a list of fields, you can specify font properties for all labels, so there is no need to format each label individually unless you have a particular need for doing so. You can also choose how the fields and labels should be displayed  - for example, you might choose to use a tabular layout or as a single line with a given separator.

The example below shows an extract from a template in both design and preview modes. Here, a list of fields element has been added to insert three fields with associated labels, displayed as a single line with a separator:
