Making a field required
 

In custom tools developed in the Forms tool, you can set any field you have placed on a form as a required field. If you set a field as "Required", users are prompted to supply a value for the field, if missing, when they save the record. In custom tools developed in the InfoPath Forms tool, this task is done in Microsoft InfoPath.

  1. Select the field in the form layout.
  2. Select Required from the More Properties drop-down menu: More Properties drop-down menu
