Customizing Text Fields in Your Collector

To customize the additional fields in your collector, click on Advanced > Customize Collector Text. 

You can then localize the Collector into another language or customize any or all of the standard fields. For fields with variables, be sure not to change any of the code within the brackets, or delete the code altogether. Don't forget to hit the blue Save Changes button when you are done!

If you make a mistake while editing, you can restore defaults by copying the default value at any time.
