Hi all!
How do you best represent required and optional fields in a form-based application.
This is a backoffice application with lists, reports, various forms (short and lengthy)
When a define a blank slate for a form, if a form has few optional fields, I'd mark them as inline-field text. It is understood that rest of the fields which are empty are required fields.
Alternatively, if most fields are optional, I'd mark only those that are required.
I would use one of the pattern for the entire website or application
But what pattern would you follow in a large application (about 250 unique screens) which has both of above patterns?
Thanks ahead
Suman
