* Field label
* Placeholder
* Variable name (assigned by default by Poool)
* Required field: choose whether or not it is mandatory
* Show block before form submission: show/hide (default value = show)
* Show block after form submission: hide/show (default value = hide)

💡 With the variable name, you can easily identify the data that will be sent once the form is submitted.

# Other available options

In this window, you can also further customize:

* Style: manage various style options (background color, spacing, borders, shadows, rounding...)
* Responsive: manage compatibility with screen sizes
* Advanced: add a condition to show/hide a component.
