You can directly enter field values surrounded by {} brackets. You can also click Fields to insert fields.
Additionally, descriptive text can be entered outside of the brackets. Any text that you enter outside of the brackets is shown for each item in the Structure column. Adding text can be useful for clarity. For example, you can add a field label.
