# General Properties

In the ***General*** section, you will find the properties common to all elements, which we reviewed earlier. You can revisit their functions below:

* ***Label:*** allows you to set the name that the end user will see when accessing the form.
* ***Size:*** defines the width of the field. As we saw earlier, the default measurement is 12 units, which are proportional and imply that the field occupies 100% of the column it is in.
* ***Required:*** specifies whether the field is mandatory *(True)* or not *(False)*.

Static elements like ***Text*** or ***Image*** retain the first two properties but cannot be configured as required since this parameter only applies to input fields where users enter data.
