This guide shows you how to work with field labels in Formulayt, using the example "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions" throughout.
Editing labels
Labels are the text that appears to users on the form alongside or above the field input. To edit a label:
Navigate to Setup > Fields
Select the field you want to edit
Update the Label field with your desired text
For complete details on field configuration options, see our Managing Fields guide.
Dynamically changing labels
Using rules to change labels
Rules allow you to change field labels based on specific conditions such as user country, campaign ID, or other field values.
Example: Change label based on user country
Trigger:
Set to run continuously (since country can change in real-time)
Conditions (IF):
Field: country
condition: equals
Value: US
Actions (THEN):
Action: Change field label
Field: terms_checkbox
New Label: I have read and agree to the terms and conditions
Translation Label: TermsAndConditionsUS (identifier for finding this text in the translations area)
Otherwise:
Action: Change field label
Field: terms_checkbox
New Label: I have read and agree to the terms of service
Translation Label: TermsOfService (identifier for finding this text in the translations area)
Using translations to change labels
If your labels need to appear in multiple languages, use the translations area:
Navigate to Setup > Translations
Locate the relevant phrase for your field label
Select the language you want to edit
Enter the translated label text
For example, the Spanish version might be: "He leído y acepto los términos y condiciones"
For complete details on translation management, see our Managing Translations guide.
Adding links to labels
Method 1: Using Field Settings to add a link
Navigate to Setup > Fields and select the field
Add the link in HTML to the label field:
html
I have read and agree to the <a href="https://www.companyname.com/terms" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a>.
Method 2: Using translations to add links in multiple languages
Navigate to Setup > Translations
Locate the relevant phrase for your field label
Select the language you want to edit
Add your HTML link to the translation text
For example, the Spanish version might be:
html
He leído y acepto los <a href="https://www.companyname.com/es/terms" target="_blank">términos y condiciones</a>.
This ensures each language links to the appropriate terms page.
Using tokens at scale
Tokens allow you to inject dynamic data into your labels, making it easy to manage variations at scale without creating multiple fields or complex rules.
How it works:
Create a hidden field to store your dynamic value (e.g., different terms and conditions URLs)
Use rules to populate that hidden field based on conditions (language, country, campaign, etc.)
Click the {*} icon in your label field to insert a token
Select your hidden field as the token source
Set a default value if needed
This approach allows you to manage complex variations centrally through hidden fields and rules, rather than maintaining multiple versions of the same label.
For complete details on how to implement tokens, including step-by-step examples, see our Using Tokens to Inject Dynamic Data guide.
Best practices
Keep labels clear and concise
Always provide a default label value as a fallback
Test your rules and translations thoroughly to ensure the correct labels appear in all scenarios
Use descriptive link text (e.g., "terms and conditions" rather than "click here")
Ensure all linked URLs are valid and lead to the correct pages
