Additional Features and Capabilities

Warning - using Required Fields

You have the ability to make a field "Required" (Mandatory).

For an assessment to be approved, all Required fields  must be filled in. As  a result, it is important to never nest a 'Required field' inside a 'Show If' block.

A 'Show if' block traditionally only displays values or fields if the certain selection is made from a list. If a required field is within a 'Show If' Block and the 'Show if' Block is not displayed on the screen, then the form will not approve and you will not see any error message to say it hasn't been approved.
