The Label for Field property is one of the accessibility properties designed to make reports accessible to the disabled community when output to HTML. This property cross-references the ID of an input field so that you can associate the input field with the boilerplate text object. With assistive utilities, the label of the boilerplate text object can be displayed in a popup or read by a screen reader when the cursor passes over the cross-referenced input field in report output.
