ProTip Basics: Making a Form Field Required

One surefire way to ensure data accuracy and form completion is to make crucial fields Required — guaranteeing vital information is entered before a form is “turned in”. To leverage this powerful field, follow these simple steps:

1. Once you’ve added your form field, locate the Field Properties window on the right hand side of the Template Editor window. 

2. Select the Required property, and select [YES] in the drop down. 

3. If you’d like to change the background color to indicate the field is mandatory, change the color hex in the Background property below. 

4. Hit [Save].

Now, when users attempt to complete a form without entering data into Required fields, a dialogue box will appear alerting them they have not completed the necessary field(s). This is a great way to ensure forms are properly filled out, reducing the administrative burden caused by incomplete forms.
