Field Name
A field name is the name of a field
in a document.
A field name can be freely chosen, however it is customary to
describe the type of expected value,
because the field name
also serves as it label.
For example, if you want to use a field for a recipient's e-mail address, you would name the field "Email Address."
You can toggle OpenOffice to view the field names or the field values in a document.
A field name is similar but not the same to the concept of
field-labels
for input fields in database applications.
