# Text Fields Text fields are designed to hold basic text content. They are handy for incorporating short, non-numeric, and unformatted text such as names or titles. For instance, a text field could hold a value like 'Sample Text'. ## Text Field Formats * **Single Line** Store a single line of text, like a first name, or a company name * **Long Text** Store multiple lines of text, like notes or description * **Email address** Store an email address. Input fields ensure that all values are valid email addresses, like * **IP address** Store an IP address. Input fields ensure that all values are valid IP addresses, like 192.168.1.1 * **URL** Store a URL or website such as or noloco.io. ## Use Cases Text fields are perfect for: * Names and titles * Short descriptions * Comments and notes * Contact information (when using specific formats) * Reference codes and IDs ## Best Practices * Use Single Line for short, structured text like names or codes * Use Long Text for descriptions, comments, or any multi-line content * Choose Email, IP, or URL formats when you need validation for those specific data types * Keep field names clear and descriptive to help users understand what information to enter --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
