If you click on the Submit button in a form that contains invalid data or required fields that are empty (Submit button greyed out), the message shown below will display. This alert is , invalid controls will be highlighted with an orange border. The designer can use a message control to notify the user that fields need to be filled or data needs to be corrected before the form can be submitted. This can be very helpful to users when trying to determine why a form does not submit.

You cannot mark grouping controls (tabs, panels and repeats) required. A section is one grouping control that does have a Required Property.  If a Section has the required property checked, required controls within it show a yellow background in design and Use mode. If the Section has required unchecked, required controls within it DO NOT show the yellow background color in design and Use mode. The yellow backgound color appears only when one of the required controls in the section is filled making it mandatory to fill other required controls within the section.

For example, you can reduce white space even further with the Tight layout so that you have virtually no space between controls by selecting the hide label property on each control.

When controls are this tight together there is no room to display the help icon for controls with help text. Notice that the first row of controls does displays the help icon. This is done by putting the string showhelp into the css class property for each control in the first row. This is a useful way to have help at the top of each column.
