Find these fields and icons in the platform:

Required Field

Required fields are highlighted to indicate that data input is required. If a Required field is empty when you click [Save], an Error Message is displayed.

Required fields are highlighted with a green bar to the left side of the field.

Fields without a highlight are optional:

Considerations
  • Checkbox fields are never Required


Error Message

Error messages appear at the mandatory fields when the information is missing.

Note: For Validations object, error messages appear at the top of the page.

See the Messages file for a listing of platform messages.

Wrench Icon

The Wrench icon WrenchIcon.png provides different options, depending on the current context. Think of it as "context-sensitive" tooling.

Lookup Icon

A Lookup field can be identified in a form by the appearance of a Lookup icon Lookupicon.gif. The Lookup icon is used in data entry to view and select items from a Lookup Window.

Optionally, start typing to use the Auto Completion option for faster data entry in Lookup fields.
