How do you indicate a mandatory field?
A distinctive sign (“*” symbol, “mandatory” mention, etc.) must be provided in the label of each mandatory field. If a symbol is used to declare mandatory fields, a statement placed at the beginning of the form must indicate that the symbol stands for a mandatory field.
How do you show mandatory fields in UX?
You can use either asterisks or visual indicators to mark the required fields. As a UX Designer, I always recommend marking all required form fields as required, unless there is a specific reason not to.
What is fields marked with * are mandatory?
Fields marked with * are mandatory
Using an asterisk (*) symbol content authors notify mandatory field. This is said to be one of the accessible modes of identifying a mandatory field, however this method also will be a problem with screen readers in certain times.
How do you indicate required fields in web design?
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.
