Once you have selected the fields, the edge around the field will turn either green or blue:

**🟩 Input fields:** The information we need to ask the user taking the calculator in order to calculate the price   
​**🟦 Output fields:** The values of our calculations that we need to show the user (price, VAT, and etc.).

The tool automatically determines the type of field based on whether there is a formula in the field or not. If you wish to change the name of a field, you can do so by expanding the menu to the right and editing the text for the field:
