Proceed with the following actions.
Hide Label:
Set the label to be hidden or shown by switching the toggle button on/off correspondingly.
Please note
Even if the Label is hidden, the title of the field will still be received in the notification emails. In case you would like to receive the email without the label of the field, then manually delete it from the Field Label textbox in the Settings.
Type in the Label of the field, the title you want your users to see.
Placeholder text:
Placeholder specifies a hint that describes the expected value of an input field. The text of the placeholder displayed in the field before you enter a value, and disappears when you begin typing. The text can be modified according to your needs, too.
Field size:
You can adjust the Field Size setting to make the field shorter or longer in length. This setting doesn't influence on the character limit.
Range:
Set the amount of characters/words that can be inputted in the Single Line text field with the Min and Max range. The filled data will only pass validation if the value entered falls within the designated range.
Under the Range section, you'll find the dropdown field with Character and Words option.
Character: Character limits the number of characters that can be inputted in the field.
For instance: If the Max limit of required input is set 5, then the field should not be filled with more than 5 characters.

Instructions for users:
Add Instructions if you want to provide additional information regarding the field. You can use this option to specify the exact input type you require from them. All form fields that require user input have an instruction box where you can add some additional information. The instructions will be displayed above the field.
Remember to activate the Required option, to signify that the field can not be left blank (a red asterisk * next to the field will indicate that it is required).
