Set Up Required Field Record For Free

In SQL Server, a data type defines the type of data in a table column or variable. It is a mandatory and essential step in designing a table. A table with inappropriate data types can lead to various issues such as improper query optimization, performance issues, data truncation.

Different ways to make field mandatory : Make the field ?Required? at the time of field creation by checking the ?Required? check box. Make the field Required through Page Layout by checking the ?Required ? checkbook in Field Properties. Validation Rules can also be used to make the field mandatory.

Fields marked with * are mandatory Using an asterisk (*) symbol content authors notify mandatory field. This is said to be one of the accessible modes of identifying a mandatory field, however this method also will be a problem with screen readers in certain times.

Under the Page Layouts section, Click on Edit on the page layout that you use on the object. Click the wrench icon beside the custom field that you will make required. Select the Required checkbox. Click on Ok, then click on Save.

Validation Rules vs. Required fields are 'all or nothing'; you must complete the field for the record to be created. Validation rules kick in only under certain conditions. In the Closed Lost Reason example above, we don't require that field to be completed until the Opportunity Stage is being changed to ?Closed Lost?.

Required attribute: If you want to make an input mandatory to be entered by the user, you can use the required attribute. This attribute can be used with any input type such as email, URL, text, file, password, checkbox, radio, etc. This can help to make any input field mandatory.

Best Practice Required fields should be indicated with either a symbol or text, not just color. When providing an indicator for a required field, it should be placed right before the form field. This allows a screen reader to read the indicator to a screen reader user right before the user activates the field.
