Autocomplete attribute

This field setting allows you to set an autocomplete HTML attribute. The autocomplete attribute asks the browser to attempt autocompletion based on user history. Read more about the Autocomplete attribute.
Field Options Autocomplete
The options give context to autofill features in browsers. For example, if you choose Birthday as an option, Safari can take your Birthday from your profile details and insert it into the form. When using a password or number field, only the appropriate options are included in the selection. Note: The autocomplete attribute will be used in favor of an attribute found in custom HTML.

Display single line text fields

Display the value submitted in a Single Line Text field in a form's confirmation message, email, or View. Just insert [x], where x is the ID or key of the Single Line Text field.

If you haven't created a View before, read more about creating a View.
