Property name: Required

Question types applied

All except Page question

Description

Specifies whether or not a question is required. This property exists only for question properties.

Business logic

When the 'All required' property of a questionnaire is checked all questions in a questionnaire will be required as default. The required property on a question can although overrule the 'All required' property of the questionnaire. If there is no value for this property in a question, its value will be inherited from the questionnaire property. You will be able to see what the inherited value is since the Yes or No property will be illustrated as a black box instead of white. You can click the black box as well if you want to ensure that the value is always a certain value event though the default questionnaire property may be changed.

Formatting
