# Display Name

In Contentstack, each [field](/docs/headless-cms/about-fields) has a predefined name ([Single Line Textbox](/docs/headless-cms/single-line-textbox), [Link](/docs/headless-cms/link), [Markdown](/docs/headless-cms/markdown), [Global Field](/docs/headless-cms/global), etc.) which you can change and give it a custom name.

**Example**: For a “Contact Us” page on a website, you need “Name,” “Email,” and “Body” fields in the form. To achieve this structure in Contentstack, you need two “Single Line Textbox” fields for “Name” and “Email,” and a “[Multi Line Textbox](/docs/headless-cms/multi-line-textbox)” for the “Body” section.

While you [add these fields to your content type](/docs/headless-cms/create-a-content-type), the **Properties** section opens automatically, and the **Display Name** box opens along with the other boxes. You can change the existing name of these fields to **Name**, **Email**, and **Body** accordingly.

**Additional Resource:** To know how to [set labels to content types](/docs/headless-cms/create-and-apply-labels), read our documentation.

Now, when you [create an entry](/docs/headless-cms/create-an-entry) for this content type, you will see these fields on the [entry](/docs/headless-cms/about-entries) page as shown below:

**Additional Resource:** You can read more about [Field Visibility Rules](/docs/headless-cms/about-field-visibility-rules) in our documentation where we have covered it extensively.
