How fields in the Composer UI map to ANS

Admin users have the option to configure how and where available form fields appear in the Composer editor. You can control the availability of these fields from Composer Settings under ANS Meta Field Configuration. You can configure each of these fields and move them to either the Planning or Meta tab in the Composer editor. 

The the following table outlines each available field, what it means, and how it corresponds to ANS (Arc Native Specification) in the resulting JSON file for Composer stories.
