When working with [templates](templates/overview.md) you will be referencing the field by its short name. For convenience the short name can be displayed next to the field's name in the publish form (<img style="margin-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: middle; display:inline-block;" src="../_images/field_short_name.png" alt="field short name">) and will be copied to the clipboard when clicked. Displaying the short name can be toggled on or off in the [Role](control-panel/member-manager.md) settings.

Note that some fields can be displayed with just single tags while others would require a tag pair with extra variables. More information can be found in the documentation for the field's specific [field type](fieldtypes/overview.md).
