How to indicate a required field Provide the required text in the label. Provide a graphic image in the label with appropriate alt text. Providing a star (asterisk) symbol. Use of color to identify if a form control is required. Providing HTML5 and ARIA required attributes.

Many designers tend to mark optional fields by placing ?(optional)? after the field label. This approach makes the field label longer and wordier than it really is.

In the Add Field/ Edit Field overlay, you can check the Make this field as required checkbox to make the field mandatory.

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.
