How do I add mandatory fields to an assessment?
When collecting information from your clients, mandatory fields ensure that you get all of the information you need.
When creating or editing a form using the Form Builder, the following fields can be made mandatory:
By mandatory, we mean that the form cannot be saved untill the field has been completed. This forces the client to enter information, as they cannnot submit the form otherwise.

When creating or editing a form, you will see a 'Mandatory' checkbox for all of the above field types:

You can also edit any of your current custom assessment forms to make fields in them mandatory. To define an existing field as mandatory, open the form template and click on the Edit Field icon, then simply tick the 'Mandatory' option:
If you edit any current assessment forms to include mandatory fields, remember to Publish & Exit once you have made the changes, to ensure they are retained! Simply clicking Exit after making changes won't publish them!
