Label Field

The label field determines what's shown when this collection is referenced elsewhere. For example, if a "Customer" collection has name as the label field, dropdowns and references will show customer names.

Collection Icon

Choose from available icons to help identify your collection in the sidebar. Good for quick visual navigation.

Column Length

Controls the form layout when editing records:

  • 1 Column - Full width fields
  • 2 Columns - Side-by-side layout
  • 3/4 Columns - Compact layout for many fields

Auth Collection

When enabled, additional configuration appears for user authentication. See Auth Collections for details.
