Formatting Required Field Appearance

HTML Formatting for Required Fields settings enable you to customize the appearance of the logical field name for required fields. You can specify formatting that displays before and after each field when it is required on quick and custom forms.

By default, required fields appear in red, bold, italic text.

Plain text or HTML tags can be used. The formatting applies to the display of all fields in the system.

To format the display of required fields on forms:

  1. From the Options menu, select Settings or click the Settings icon on the toolbar.
  2. Select the HTML tab.
  3. In the Pre Required Field Name box, type the text you want to appear before the logical field name of required fields on forms. If you are using HTML tags instead of plain text, type the start tag in this text box. If an HTML tag is entered in this box, an end tag must be entered in the Post Required HTML text box.
  4. In the Post Required Field Name box, type the text you want to appear after the logical field name of required fields on form. If using HTML tags, type the end tag in this box.
  5. Click OK.
