# Make Form Fields Visible

#### You have two methods to find the Form Field to make visible:

<mark style="color:green;">**Method 1: Directly on a Pag**</mark>**e**

1. To make a form field visible directly on a page, go to the page with the relevant record type. For instance, you can access the student record's "Old Student Number" field by navigating to (<mark style="color:red;">**1**</mark>) **Student** > (<mark style="color:red;">**2**</mark>) **Student Details** > (<mark style="color:red;">**3**</mark>) **Add New**.
2. Find the Form Field you want to make visible, such as "Old Student Number," within the STUDENT DETAILS section of the page. (<mark style="color:red;">**4**</mark>) Click the **Show Hidden Fields** menu - this will show the hidden fields under that record type or page, (<mark style="color:red;">**5**</mark>) click the **Edit Labels** menu, (<mark style="color:red;">**6**</mark>) then select the information icon next to the form field, and (<mark style="color:red;">**7**</mark>) choose **Edit Form Field**.
3. The Edit Form Field screen opens in the new tab. Proceed [below ](#to-make-the-form-field-visible)to make the field visible.

<mark style="color:green;">**Method 2: Searching the Form Field ID via the Form Fields Edit Menu**</mark>

1. Navigate to **System** > **Form Fields Edit** from the menu.
2. (<mark style="color:red;">**1**</mark>) Enter the Form Field Label Id, in the **Label ID** field. For example, if you want to make the "Old Student No" field under the student record type visible, enter '`student_oldStudentNumber`' in the search field. (<mark style="color:red;">**2**</mark>) Click the **SEARCH** button.
3. (<mark style="color:red;">**3**</mark>) Click the **EDIT** button next to the Form Field ID you want to make visible. If you're searching using keywords and find multiple Form Field IDs, make sure to edit only the one you need. Form Field IDs usually have a prefix that shows their record type, like `student_` for [student-related labels](/home/paradigm-knowledge-base/student-enrolments/record-types/student-record.md). If you're not sure which one to edit, contact our [Support Team](https://docs.silverband.com.au/home/v/training/how-to-get-support/support-options) for help.
4. The Edit Form screen opens in the new tab. Proceed [below ](#to-make-the-form-field-visible)to make the field visible.
