# How to set the image title in Drupal 7

One of the many options you will be able to set when working with images in Drupal 7 is the title field. The title field, also known as the tool tip, will display a very small text box when a user mouses over the image. This is often used for either comment on the image or a simple description of the image. Not enabled by default, this is often a very useful device. It is easily set within your Drupal 7 dashboard by following the steps below.

## Setting the title field for images in Drupal 7:

1. [Log into the Drupal 7 admin dashboard](/support/edu/drupal/how-to-log-into-the-drupal-admin-dashboard/).
2. Using the top menu bar, locate and click on the **Structure **option.[![structure](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_structure.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_structure.png)
3. From this next page, click on the **Content Types** link.[![content-types](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_content-types.jpg)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_content-types.jpg)
4. On the **Content Types** page, find the type of content you want to work with. In our example, we will work with **Basic Pages**. After locating your content type, click on the **Manage Fields** link for your selection.[![manage-fields](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_manage-fields.jpg)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_manage-fields.jpg)
5. Find the **Image** row and then click on the **Edit **link to take you to the settings page.[![image-edit](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_image-edit.jpg)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_image-edit.jpg)
6. On the settings page, you will want to scroll down and find the **Enable Title Field **setting. To enable it, simply check the box next to it. This will enable the Title field so you can enter content when adding an image.[![image-title-set](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_image-title-set.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_image-title-set.png)
7. Click on the **Save Settings** button at the bottom of the page to save your title setting. Below is an image that shows that the Title field now displays when you add an image to a Content Type. After that is a small sample of the tool tip that displays when the image is hovered over by the mouse cursor.[![image-title-field](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_image-title-field.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_image-title-field.png) [![image-title-sample](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_image-title-sample.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/edu_Drupal_7_Structure_Content_Types_image-title-sample.png)
