Making a field required

Setting a form field to “Required”, forces the user to fill a value for the particular form field. When you make a field as "Required", Zoho Creator won't let a user save the record until a value is entered in that field. Instead, the program displays a message telling the user "Enter a value for <fieldname>."

To set a form field as required while adding a field,

1. Drag and drop the required field to the form.
2. Click on Options.
3. Select the check box This is required field.
4. Click "Done" to save the setting.

2. Place mouse over the field to be edited.
3. Select the Edit this Field option. The edit dialog will be displayed with the current field configurations.
