At the bottom of the field list for a node type is a row used to add new fields. Each field requires a label, a machine name, a field type, and finally also a widget that matches the selected field type.

When adding a new field, you are automatically redirected to the pages for configuring the field and its widget. (See figure 6.2.)


Figure 6.2: Different field types have different settings. The figure shows the settings for text fields.

I'm guessing it's in the next page, but I should still ask the obvious question: where is Figure 6.2? If it in fact is in a different page, then this should be noted in the parenthesized text, because people might believe that the picture either failed to load or that it wasn't uploaded to begin with.

I see Figure 6.2 right here - maybe it was added since the last comment?

Now I see the problem - Figure 6.2 is also on the following page.
