There are a few features you can add to your new hire form to prevent errors and incomplete submissions on your new hire forms.
The first method is setting a required field. When you add a new field on your form, it will be optional to fill out by default. This means that form respondents can submit their form response without filling out that field. If you want to require respondents to fill out the field, simply select the field in the Form Builder and click the gear icon to open the Properties sidebar. Under the General tab, toggle Required to “On” to make the field mandatory to fill out. This feature makes it easier to collect complete forms.
Jotform also allows users to customize form warnings to help guide respondents while they’re filling out the form. Personalized form warning messages prevent incorrect or incomplete answers like an invalid email address or an empty required field. To change your form warning messages, open the Form Builder and go to Settings at the top. Select Show More Options at the bottom and then select Edit next to Form Warnings. Use the search bar at the top to filter the warning messages and enter your new messages in the corresponding fields. Customize your messages to fit your new hire forms — add prescriptive language, use a casual or professional tone, and more. Once you’re finished, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select Save Changes.
